Proxmox VE is only provided for 64-bit CPUs using the debian amd64 architecture. While this makes sense for the KVM hypervisor that depends on special hardware features not available in 32-bit CPUs, at least the container based virtualization OpenVZ can be supported on 32-bit CPUs.

Unfortunatly you cannot install Proxmox VE on those old 32-bit machines, that's why I ported the packages for i386 architecture.

To mount a remote samba share, just follow this (adapt it according to your setup):

First, create a target dir, e.g.:

mkdir /mnt/samba1

First convert the .vmdk to a format compatible with qemu-img.

Turns out this can be done with vmware-vdiskmanager.

1. Converting from .vmdk

vmware-vdiskmanager -r Ubuntu.vmdk -t 0 Ubuntu-copy.vmdk

	

	

Note: If you have multiple disks, use Ubuntu.vmdk as well (you do not need to convert each Ubuntu-f001.vmdk).

Note: That is a -t Zero not a capital O. see man vmware-vdiskmanager.

Note: vmware-vdiskmanager is part of vmware server (and workstation, not sure about player).

	2.Convert to .qcow2 (KVM, QEMU)

	

	

	qemu-img convert Ubuntu-copy.vmdk -O qcow2 Ubuntu-copy.qcow2

	

adduser --system --home /var/spool/vexim --disabled-password --disabled-login --group vexim
