I have just installed Proxmox 8.0.2 on my fanless PC over two identical 2TB SSDs and set-up ZFS RAID1 during install. Now I want to install homeassistant as a VM. I have created the VM, downloaded the Home Assistant qcow2 and transferred the qcow2 image to the /root of the Proxmox but don’t know how I can link it to my HA VM. I saw that it is not a good idea to have qcow2 over ZFS especially in the case of SSD due to the higher wear of the SSDs so I was wondering what my options are.

I am also open to re-install Proxmox and change the drive setup. What’s the best path ahead of me?

Proxmox has kinda install template for HA, so you don’t need to download things. Just tell it to create your HA.

Here is a tutorial
