Raspberry Pi 5 + Proxmox. Tutorial de instalación paso a paso

Introduction

This tutorial provides a step-by-step guide for installing Proxmox on a Raspberry Pi 5. Proxmox is a powerful open-source virtualization platform, and using it on a Raspberry Pi can be a great way to manage virtual machines and containers efficiently. This guide will walk you through the installation process, ensuring that you have a smooth experience.

Step 1: Prepare the Raspberry Pi 5

• Gather the required hardware:

  • Raspberry Pi 5
  • MicroSD card (at least 16 GB recommended)
  • Power supply for Raspberry Pi
  • Ethernet cable (for network connection)

• Download the Raspberry Pi Imager from the official website.

• Use the Raspberry Pi Imager to:

  • Select the appropriate operating system for Proxmox.
  • Write the OS image to the MicroSD card.

Step 2: Insert the MicroSD Card and Boot

• Once the OS is written to the MicroSD card, insert it into the Raspberry Pi 5.

• Connect the Raspberry Pi to your network using an Ethernet cable.

• Power on the Raspberry Pi by connecting it to the power supply.

Step 3: Configure Proxmox Installation

• Access the Raspberry Pi via SSH or direct console.

• Update the package list by running:

  sudo apt update
  

• Install necessary dependencies for Proxmox:

  sudo apt install -y wget curl bsdutils
  

• Download the Proxmox kernel and install it:

  wget https://cdn.proxmox.com/downloads/iso/proxmox-ve_7.0-1.iso
  

• Install the Proxmox environment:

  sudo dpkg -i proxmox-ve_7.0-1.iso
  

Step 4: Finalize Proxmox Setup

• After installation completes, reboot the Raspberry Pi:

  sudo reboot
  

• Access the Proxmox web interface by navigating to https://<Raspberry_Pi_IP>:8006 in your web browser. Replace <Raspberry_Pi_IP> with the actual IP address of your Raspberry Pi.

• Log in using the default credentials (root and the password you set during installation).

Step 5: Create Your First Virtual Machine

• In the Proxmox web interface:

  • Click on “Create VM.”
  • Follow the prompts to set up your first virtual machine:
    • Name your VM.
    • Allocate resources (CPU, memory, disk space).
    • Select the installation media for your VM.

• Once configured, start your VM to ensure everything is functioning properly.

Conclusion

You have successfully installed Proxmox on a Raspberry Pi 5 and created your first virtual machine. This setup allows you to explore virtualization and containerization in a flexible environment. For next steps, consider experimenting with different VMs or exploring additional features of Proxmox, such as backups and clustering.
