Proxmox Virtual Machine Server Setup
Budget: $2 – $8 USD
I need help getting a fresh Proxmox installation ready to host between four and ten Linux-based virtual machines. The physical server already has power and network in place; what’s missing is a clean, production-ready configuration.
Here’s what I expect:
• Install and update the latest stable Proxmox VE
• Create 4–10 Linux VMs (Ubuntu preferred unless you suggest a better fit) with optimized CPU, RAM and storage allocations
• Configure secure networking so each VM can reach the internet while remaining isolated from one another, and set up a reliable tunnel (WireGuard is ideal) for remote administration
• Apply basic hardening: user roles, firewall rules, backups to an external target, and monitoring alerts
• Provide concise documentation or a short call showing me how to add, clone, back up and restore VMs on my own
All tasks should be completed using Proxmox’s native tools and standard best practices; no proprietary add-ons are required. Once everything is running smoothly I’ll verify that I can SSH into every VM through the tunnel and that snapshots and restores work without error.
