5 Steps for Creating Templates and Virtual Machines on Proxmox using Linux Distro's Cloud Images

This tutorial guides you through the process of creating Templates and Virtual Machines on Proxmox using cloud-based images from various Linux distributions. We provide clear instructions for Alma Linux 9, Amazon Linux 2, CentOS 9, Fedora 38, Oracle Linux 9, RHEL 9, Rocky Linux 9, and Ubuntu 23.04 Lynx Lobster.

Note: The instructions have been tested on Proxmox 8.0.4.

Let's begin by choosing the cloud-based image. If you already have your preferred Linux distribution, skip to the 1st step.

To assist in making informed choices when selecting a Linux distribution for your virtual machines, we've compiled a table showcasing key characteristics of each cloud image. This table provides a snapshot of important attributes, including kernel version, Python version, number of processes initialized after boot, number of packages installed, free memory after boot, VM disk size, root partition disk size, used size on t

Instructions to obtain WireGuard details of your NordVPN account. These can be used to setup a WireGuard tunnel on your router to NordVPN.

Prerequisites

If you have any linux machine, use that or install a vm if you don't have one.

Get their official linux app installed. Make sure you have wireguard installed too. And set the used technology to Nordlynx by running nordvpn set technology nordlynx

Generating Authy passwords on other authenticators

*update: TBC, but this new might affect how easy it is to use this technique past August 2024: Authy is shutting down its desktop app | The 2FA app Authy will only be available on Android and iOS starting in August

This gist, based in part on a gist by Brian Hartvigsen, allows you to export from Authy your TOTP tokens you have stored there.
Those can be "standard" 6-digits / 30 secs tokens, or Authy's own version, the 7-digits / 10 secs tokens.

	# Procedure:
	# - download the episodes you want from the Android Netflix app (there is a limit)
	# - connect your smartphone to your PC and navigate to Internal Storage/Android/data/com.netflix.mediaclient/Download/.of.
	# - fetch each directory (each directory is one episode)
	#
	# Each directory should have the following file formats:
	# - .nfv - the video stream, possibly already in H.264, unencrypted
	# - .nfa - the most difficult file to deal with, it's an unencrypted AAC file in ISO fMP4 (fragmented) format and an unknown "object type 42" that ffmpeg complains
	# - .nfs - subtitle in TTML format with custom properties.
	# - .nfi - information about the download (unknown format)
