安装Importing a Virtual Machine OVA into ProxMox

Log into ProxMox VE either via SSH or the web based shell
Run the following commands to download the .ova and import it
NOTE: in the example we are installing TurnKey Core
# make a working directory
mkdir ova_import && cd ova_import
# download the ova
wget -O TurnKey.ova https://laotzu.ftp.acc.umu.se/mirror/turnkeylinux/images/ova/turnkey-core-16.1-buster-amd64.ova
# extract the downloaded ova
tar xvf TurnKey.ova
# create a new vm from the ova
# usage
# qm importovf <unused vmid> <path to ova> <destination storage pool name> [OPTIONS]
qm importovf 300 ./turnkey-core-16.1-buster-amd64.ovf HDD_500GB --format qcow2
After the VM has been successfully imported, open a web browser and navigate to the ProxMox VE web UI
Select the imported VM from the left navigation menu
Review the imported VM details and tweak as needed
Click the Start button in the top right of the screen
Click the Console link to watch the boot process
After confirming the imported VM is working, run the following command to clean up the downloaded ova data
cd ..
rm ova_import/ -r
