If the ISO for the operating system that you desire is not already available in the existing catalog of ISO Images, you must download it.  Please do look first, to see if it is already there. 

 

 Download ISO images of VMs you'd like to virtualize: 

 

 Ubuntu Server 

 Ubuntu Desktop 

 Windows Desktop 

 

 

 Upload ISOs to Proxmox 

 

 Click on a node > local (node name) > ISO Images > Upload 

 You will have to repeat the upload on each node you have
