# Add Disk from Cloud Image - Step by Step

## Current Status
✅ Image is visible in: Storage → local → ISO Images
✅ Image name: `ubuntu-24.04-server-cloudimg-amd64.img`

## Steps to Add Disk

### Option 1: Direct Import (Recommended)

1. **Go to VM 9000 → Hardware tab**

2. **Click "Add" → "Hard Disk"**

3. **In the "Add: Hard Disk" dialog:**
   - **Storage:** Select `local`
   - **Look for one of these options:**
     - "Import from" dropdown
     - "Use existing disk" 
     - File browser icon (folder icon)
   - **Select:** `ubuntu-24.04-server-cloudimg-amd64.img`
   - **Disk size:** 20 GiB
   - **Click "Add"**

### Option 2: If Import Option Not Available

If you don't see an import option in the Hard Disk dialog:

1. **Go to Storage → local → Import tab**
   - This might allow importing the image as a disk format

2. **Or use the file path directly:**
   - The image is at: `/var/lib/vz/template/iso/ubuntu-24.04-server-cloudimg-amd64.img`
   - Some Proxmox versions allow entering this path directly

### Option 3: Manual Disk Creation

If the above don't work:

1. **Create a new disk:**
   - Storage: `local`
   - Size: 20 GiB
   - Format: qcow2

2. **Then copy the image to the disk:**
   - This requires command-line access to Proxmox host
   - Or use the Import feature in Storage

## After Disk is Added

1. **Remove CD-ROM (ide2)** if it still exists
2. **Verify disk is scsi0** (not ide2)
3. **Configure Cloud-Init:**
   - Options → Cloud-Init
   - User: `ubuntu`
   - SSH Public Keys: (paste your key)
4. **Convert to Template:**
   - Right-click VM 9000 → Convert to Template

## Quick Check

After adding the disk, verify in Hardware tab:
- ✅ scsi0: Should show the cloud image (20GB)
- ❌ ide2: Should be removed (no CD-ROM)
