How to deploy your Trapster on Proxmox:

Configuration ​

1. Create a new VM ​

Click on the advanced button and check the start at boot box.

proxmox

2. OS ​

Click on Do not use any media

proxmox

3. System ​

You can leave the default settings

4. Disks ​

Delete the auto created disk. The disc will be installed via the image downloaded from your console.

5. CPU ​

You can leave the default configuration:

  • 1 sockets
  • 1 Cores

6. Memory ​

You can leave the default memory: 2048Mb. Make sure to check the Ballooning box so as not to reserve all of the memory for the VM.

7. Network ​

Configure the network so that the VM has a local IP, and the rest of the network can communicate with your Trapster.

With a standard installation, the default settings are sufficient.

8. Confirm ​

You should have a configuration similar to this:

proxmox

Transfer the Trapster disk to Proxmox ​

Send the disk to the server:

  • either using scp
  • either by changing the extension to .assets and uploading your image to your storage

Make sure your storage supports disk upload: Datacenter > Storage > local then Edit,

proxmox

Attach the disk to the VM ​

You must then import the disk to the VM. To do this, note your VM ID and your image path, then use the following command:

bash
qm importdisk 100 /var/lib/vz/template/iso/Trapster-<version>.assets local

Attach the attach the disk by double-clicking on the "unused" disk in the hardware section. Change the boot order in the Options section : deselect all, and select the new disk.

You can now start the VM.
