This will outline how to build OpenStack images using [https://www.proxmox.com/en/ Proxmox VE] (alternate method in development).

* Create a VM or clone an existing one(<code><i>type</i>=qemu64</code>)

** Log in and as <code>root </code> do the following

*** Navigate to <code>/vardev/lib/vz/images/###pve</code> (number of VM)*** <code>mv original_image.qcow2 original_image.qcow2_backup</code> (rename original image)*** <code>qemu-img convert -O qcow2 original_image.qcow2_backup original_imagenew_image.qcow2</code>*** Copy new <code>new_image.qcow2</code> image to a safe location for uploading into OpenStack*** Remove <code>.backup</code> file

* Use WINScp WinSCP or similar program to copy the <code>new_image.qcow2</code> image to client machine
