Setup a new VM from a template

Increase disk

from https://www.dlford.io/docker-basics-how-to-home-lab-part-8/

Resize Disk in Proxmox

sudo parted /dev/sda

Type p then fix. Then qto exit.

sudo fdisk /dev/sda Type p, then d and delete partition 3. Then press n and create a new partition, press enter three times. You do not want to remove the LVM2_member signature. End with wq to write the changes to the disk and quit fdisk.

Then run sudo pvresize /dev/sda3 followed by sudo lvresize -l +100%FREE /dev/ubuntu-vg/ubuntu-lv

sudo resize2fs /dev/ubuntu-vg/ubuntu-lv to extend the filesystem to the new size.

Script to run

sudo bash -c "bash <(wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dlford/ubuntu-vm-boilerplate/master/run.sh)"

Script can be seen in full here
