Set Up a Home Lab - Proxmox VE on Raspberry Pi

There are tons of material available on Internet on the subject. However, you are required to carry out lot of trial and error to make it work as there are lot of moving parts and all need to be in sync.

I started my journey a week back to install Proxmox VE on my recently bought Raspberry Pi 5 (8GB) and 128GB A2 Class Micro SD Card - Setting Up a Home Lab.

I tried to become adventurous by using Raspberry Pi OS Full (64-Bit) - a port of Debian Bookworm - going against disclaimer given by almost all the sites I browsed to get familiar with the subject. All these sites advised and instructed to use Raspberry Pi OS Lite. However, Installation of Proxmox VE on running Linux system was quite smooth.

I had to?refer to multiple sites to achieve this goal and with each site visit I built upon the knowledge necessary to understand the concepts and steps required for successful installation.?

After the completion of installation, the main hurdle was that of creating the Virtual Machines (VMs) that runs well on Raspberry Pi. After going through each site, it used to boot into EFI Interactive Shell every time. That is where the following site demands mention:

By following instructions from this site, I successfully created Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS Virtual Machine (VM). Finally, I managed to create Linux Container (LxC) - Fedora 37 - as well without much ado. It took me a week to turn my wish into reality.?

Now my focus is on creating Windows VM on Proxmox VE on Raspberry Pi, exploring Backup facility; adding Security features; etc. for which I have already started hopping from site to site. Work in progress....
