# Notes on installing proxmox

Systems:
EliteForums TH80
1TB drive in second slot

* Changes ACPI->AC Failure Resume to 'last state'
* Boot->Qiet Boot: Off
* Messed with boot order to something that seemed sane (USB first)

## First system

I booted up to windows to see if I could get the Windows Key. Via powershell:

```
(Get-WmiObject -query 'select * from SoftwareLicensingService').OA3xOriginalProductKey
3VJN2-PQTPX-BH3QG-HCRCC-J44C2
# Note, for future systems, you can run bash:
strings /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/MSDM
```

Inserted proxmox and saved and rebooted
Plugged in network
Install Proxmox VE (console)
Got DHCP: 10.42.42.86
Target hard disk->Advanced Options, set "swap size" to 8, set "Maximum root volume size" to 128
Timezone to America/Detroit
Static IP (10.42.42.21) with 10.42.42.1 as DNS server
--
Take 2.
Let it get a DHCP lease, then assigned a static mapping, rebooted and restarted installation.

## Disable Enterprise Repositories

In UI, go to proxmox01, updates->repositories. DIsable both enterprise repos, and add both no-subscription repos.

```
apt update
apt install net-tools
```

## Fix: Network didn't come up on next boot

```
vim /etc/network/interfaces
# Copy `iface enp1s0` line to `enp2s0`
# Add `enps20` to the bridge-ports
```

Reviewed settings, ran upgrade.

Second system wouldn't DHCP. Why?
