How to build Proxmox tmpfs image

Once you have a successfully running openQRM Server you can follow the steps below for a Proxmox Solution;

1. Download PVE Kernel - http://download.proxmox.com/debian/dists/buster/pve-no-subscription/binary-amd64/pve-kernel-5.4.114-1-pve_5.4.114-1_amd64.deb
2. Install Kernel
3. Add Kernel to openQRM
   1. (Replace KERNEL_NAME, KERNEL_VER, OPENQRM_UI_USER, OPENQRM_UI_PASS, SERVER_NAME with the appropriate variables) openqrm kernel add -n KERNEL_NAME -v KERNEL_VER -u OPENQRM_UI_USER -p OPENQRM_UI_PASS -l / -i initramfs openqrm kernel add -n pve-5.4.114-1 -v 5.4.114-1-pve -u OPENQRM_USER -p OPENQRM_PASS -l / -i initramfs If you are using a self signed cert you may need to load the https call back manually; https://SERVER_NAME/openqrm/base/server/kernel/kernel-action.php?kernel_command=new_kernel&kernel_name=KERNEL_NAME&kernel_version=KERNEL_VER
4. Activate NFS Storage (if not already done so)
   1. Under Plugins -> Storage -> NFS-Storage
   2. Add NFS Storage;
   3. name "openqrm-nfs"
   4. Deployment Type: "nfs-deployment"
5. Create Image - To create an image for Proxmox which can be used as a tmpfs image, follow these steps;
   1. apt-get install debootstrap
   2. Create directory mkdir /exports/proxmox_image
   3. debootstrap --arch amd64 buster /exports/proxmox_image/ https://deb.debian.org/debian/
   4. chroot /exports/proxmox_image
   5. apt-get install wget net-tools screen locales
   6. dpkg-reconfigure locales
   7. Follow steps (Start at "Install Proxmox VE") @ https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Install_Proxmox_VE_on_Debian_Buster
   8. disable services: pvedaemon, pve-proxy, pve-manager, pve-cluster, cman

6. Add NFS Volume (this triggers tmpfs storage)

Under Plugins -> Storage -> NFS-Storage -> Volume Admin -> Edit -> proxmox_image "ADD IMAGE"

7. Tar Image

8. Create NFS Image link to TmpFS image

Optional:

The ATU Plugin is optimised for Proxmox Cluster Deployments and TMPFS Server Configuration SyncInitialise ATU plugin

Create custom FS
