Thanks, this was easier than the Mtk instructions. A few steps can be saved by not creating a disk with the VM in the first place but cest la vie.

Clearly described walk through

I believe that Proxmox 8.2 have improved on importing other VM's.
It is possible to import OVF: qm importovf {vmid} {VM name}.ovf {target storage}

What are the limitations in CHR using with proxmox
Such as VLAN trunking, Bridging are these all work?

I'm confused. You said we created the 1G disk for captures and such. Why did you have to delete it?

[@jeffm6767]

I made things fun for myself by downloading the wrong image, so i went through this all a few times. After realizing what's going on it's simpler just to create the VM with no disk at all, since it gets deleted anyway.
If you really need 1GB+ of storage for captures like he talks about, you can just add a vmdisk and format it within CHR :)
