[https://wiki.amahi.org/index.php/Amahi_Virtualized Back to 'Amahi Virtualized']<h2>Amahi in a Proxmox VM (without Greyhole) - a 15-step Run-through</h2>
<p>
- the model option yields tiny differences in results.<br />
'Intel E1000' tends to be the most compatible for a server.<br />
You may of course try with any of these, keeping in mind that the Fedora or Ubuntu OS may rename the interface after sucha such a change (Amahi depends on seeing 'eth0'as of Amahi6/ Fedora14)<br />
- setting a MAC address is auto by default and rate limit is also unlimited by default. You may change these as you see fit.<br />
- .. then click "Next"</li>
The final tab will show you a confirmation of the settings you made. Go back and make changes if need be.<br />
Once ready and happy, click "Finish" and the VM will be created. <br />
The VMis VM is ready when you see it in the left side column of the main GUI, under the 'Server' view, with your Proxmox node expanded.</li>
<li>
In its current state, your new VM is off, and also NOT set to start automatically when the Proxmox node boots up. This setting can be changed later, as you see fit.<br />
To simplify storage on this VM, you can setup any drive config you please. To start, we shall add a single drive image to the VM to act as the storage mount, typically known to Amahi users as '/var/hda/files'.<br />
- Under the 'hardware' tab, click "add" > "hard disk" > 'VIRTIO' > device '1' > storage 'local'<br />
- Decide how big this drive is to be. It is limited only by how much 'local' storage is available in that Proxmox partition. Once again the remaining options are up to you, but leave cache at 'default'. If you wish you include thise drive in backups and snapshots when Proxmox is instructed to do those, this drive will be included(Keep in mind backups effectively consume duplicates of what they are backing up!). Finally, click "Add" and this drive is added to the VM</li>
<li>
At this point, with the HDA VM highlighted, click the "Start" button at the top right of the window and it will boot up. Right away, click the "console" button just to the right of the migrate button. <br />
After OS installation is complete. You may turn on the auto-boot and even select the order in which this VM boots around other VMs in Proxmox.<br />

*It is suggested that if you your HDA is definitely going to be your DNS and DHCP server, that it boots as '0' (first).<br />
