    Installing Proxmox on Raspberry Pi 4 and 5

With these steps I managed to get Pimox on my Raspberry Pi 4 and 5 in february 2024.
Step 1 - Flashing the OS

Install "RPi OS Lite 64-bit" with Raspberry Pi Imager. It's listed under "Raspberry Pi OS (Other)"

I set my user and password already here in the Raspberry Pi Imager when asked for config, so it's easy to SSH in later. I suggest you do the same.
Step 2 - Network config

Assign your Pi a static IP in your router, then SSH into the Pi and launch the network config GUI with nmtui and adjust to the static ip.
Step 3 - Install updates

apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
Step 4 - Edit your host file

nano /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost pimox5
192.168.0.xx pimox5
::1 localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters

Important
Replace 192.168.0.xx with the static IP you assigned your Pi in your router.

Step 5 - Edit your hostname

nano /etc/hostname
pimox5

Step 6 - Reboot

reboot
Step 7 - Add sources and keys

echo "deb [arch=arm64] https://global.mirrors.apqa.cn/proxmox/debian/pve bookworm port">/etc/apt/sources.list.d/pveport.list
curl https://global.mirrors.apqa.cn/proxmox/debian/pveport.gpg -o /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/pveport.gpg
Step 8 - Update and install Proxmox

apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
apt-get full-upgrade
apt-get dist-upgrade
apt-get install ifupdown2
apt-get install proxmox-ve postfix open-iscsi chrony mmc-utils usbutils

Step 9 - Edit your network interface

nano /etc/network/interfaces
# interfaces(5) file used by ifup(8) and ifdown(8)
# Include files from /etc/network/interfaces.d:
# source /etc/network/interfaces.d/*

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

iface eth0 inet manual

auto vmbr0
iface vmbr0 inet static
address 192.168.0.xx/24
gateway 192.168.0.1
bridge-ports eth0
bridge-stp off
bridge-fd 0

iface eth0 inet manual

Important
Replace 192.168.0.xx with the static IP you assigned your Pi in your router.

Step 10 - Add DNS server

For me /etc/resolv.conf was empty. I added nameserver 8.8.8.8 to this file.
Step 11 - Reboot

Reboot your Pi again with reboot.
Step 12 - Assign a password to your root user

Run sudo -i to get a root prompt, then passwd to set your password. This will be the login for the Proxmox UI.
Step 13 - Done

You can now reach your Proxmox UI on http://pimox5.local:8005 or http://192.168.0.xx:8006 and login with the username root and the password you set in step 11.
Important
Replace 192.168.0.xx with the static IP you assigned your Pi in your router.

Now what?

If you want Home Assistant on your Pimox instance you can use the PiMox HAOS VM script from here to set up a VM with Home Assistant OS: https://tteck.github.io/Proxmox/
