Does someone installed Umbrel 1.1 on proxmox?

I am not so familiar with Proxmox but maybe this helps:

Hi, I havenā€™t installed it yet. Planning on doing it later. The general steps would be.

  • Download Umrel img.
  • Copy it over to proxmox as an ISO. (if not you may need to mount it as a disk)
  • add disk where you would like to install your OS.(make sure to * boot from Umbrel disk).
  • Boot and install Umbrel.

PS:
I will try this later today and report back.

UmbrelOS runs fine on my virtual machine (Synology/QEMU).

Only issue I ran into is that UmbrelOS somehow only allocated 128MB to use for storage. I canā€™t even install one app. Everything else seems to work fine. Anyone having the same issue?

Trying to boot up GParted and resizing the partitions.

Hi,

I managed to get Umbrel running on Proxmox as a VM. The entire thing took maybe 15mins. My process was.

  • Download Umrel img.
  • Unzip with 7zip.
  • Write to flash drive with BelenaEtcher.
  • Pass flash drive through to MV in Proxmox
  • Set flash drive as boot disk
  • boot, select install disk.

No luck here, just hangs of booting from hard disk after booting from USB :frowning:

@5hack what configuration did you use for your VM. CPU / Disk etc?

Okay, so Iā€™ve just signed-up to help you (maybe lol)

Just got it working, itā€™s important to use UEFI (with EFI disk for uefi storage ofc) and disable secure boot:
ESC (as soon as you see the proxmox logo) > Device Manager > Secure Boot Configuration > Attempt Secure Boot - press space to remove the X

Just exit / reset and it should reboot straight into the installer

@pierreschwang Haha Thanks I appreciate that.

I did check the setting itā€™s already unchecked and itā€™s greyed out anyway.

Not sure the VM will boot even if I manage to install umbrel

It should boot, the EFI disk is only relevant for storing settings of the UEFI - so without one, changes are not persisted across reboots - but that shouldnā€™t be a deal-breaker for the installation itself (especially if your host does not support secure boot)

Just use the dropdown button right next to ā€œShutdownā€ in the top bar and select ā€œStopā€
Go into the hardware, remove the USB device and edit the boot order (enable the scsi drive and put it at the top)
