The installation process for the Ubuntu virtual machines is pretty straight forward. The idea is to get a vanilla basic installation that can be built from. This should be templated.
Create a VM from the Proxmox console
Pretty much stick to the defaults. Make sure to create the disk on fast1 or fast2. The distribution ISO files are on local. The usual candidate is Ubuntu 22.04, but other distributions are available.
The system will boot after confirmation. Go to the console for the machine to install the OS.
Install Ubuntu
The main decision is whether to do a limited or full installation. I am finding that limited is sufficient since I don't use the desktop all that much and certainly not all or the user tools.
DO NOT install with the ZFS option.
