--Proxmox VE (PVE) allows users to create and manage both LXC containers and KVM virtual machines (VMs). This guide walks you through the process of downloading, importing, and creating templates for both.

--=== Create the Virtual Machine ===
++= References =
--Create a new VM with ID 910 (you can pick any unused ID):
--
--{{code language="bash"}}
--qm create 910 -name template-ubuntu-jammy -memory 2048 -net0 virtio,bridge=vmbr0 -cores 2 -sockets 1
--{{/code}}
--
--=== Import and Attach the Disk ===
--
--Choose the correct storage (replace nvme if you use a different storage name):
--
--{{code language="bash"}}
--qm importdisk 910 ubuntu-24.04-server-cloudimg-amd64.img nvme
--qm set 910 -scsihw virtio-scsi-pci -virtio0 nvme:vm-910-disk-0
--{{/code}}
--
--=== Configure the VM ===
--
--{{code language="bash"}}
--qm set 910 -serial0 socket
--qm set 910 -boot c -bootdisk virtio0
--qm set 910 -agent 1
--qm set 910 -hotplug disk,network,usb
--qm set 910 -vcpus 1
--qm set 910 -vga qxl
--qm set 910 -ide2 nvme:cloudinit
--qm resize 910 virtio0 +8G
--{{/code}}
--
--
--If your disk is using SCSI instead of virtio, resize like this:
--
--{{code language="bash"}}
--qm resize 910 scsi0 +8G
--{{/code}}
--
--=== Convert the VM into a Template ===
--
--{{code language="bash"}}
--qm template 910
--{{/code}}
--
--Now you can use this template to clone new VMs instantly.
--
--== Bash Script to Automate Setup ==
