Overview

This guide will help you to install Virtualizor on Proxmox 3.x, 4.x and 5.x.

Installing Softaculous Virtualizor for Proxmox is very simple.

Requirements

Proxmox OS (ISO can be downloaded from here )
apt-get
Storage to create the VPSs disks

Notes : Proxmox 3.x, 4.x or 5.x MUST be installed before installing Virtualizor.

Partition Scheme

Partition	Size	Description
/	80-100 GB	Root partition containing all Hardware Node operating system files, OS templates and ISOs
SWAP	4 GB +	Paging partition for the Linux operating system(Swap memory is been used by virtual servers if there is shortage of real memory)
Storage	All the remaining space on the hard disk	This partition can be used to create either Logical Volumes or File Based Storage for the VPS (DomUs). NOTE for LVM : You must NOT create any Logical Volume and MOUNT it. This must be an EMPTY VOLUME GROUP. Virtualizor will not delete any pre-existing LVs in the Volume Group. But its recommended to have an empty Volume Group. NOTE for File Storage : You must create and mount the folder.

Installation

Open a Shell Terminal (e.g. PuTTY) and SSH to your server. Run the following commands:

wget -N http://files.virtualizor.com/install.sh
chmod 0755 install.sh
./install.sh email=your@email.com kernel=proxmox

Please give the email address correctly !

kernel – In this case its proxmox
beta – If there is a newer version of Virtualizor available and you would like to test it then please add beta=true as a parameter
interface – You can specify the default interface that you want to set. If not provided it will be considered as eth0.
license – In case you are installing Virtualizor on internal network you will need to provide the VALID license key. To get internal license key you will need to open a support ticket.

Ports

Virtualizor uses ports from 4081 – 4085.

If there is any firewall restricting this, you will need to allow these ports.

Trouble Shoot

NOTE : In all cases please remember to disable SElinux. The Virtualizor installer will try to disable it. For KVM make sure that VT is enabled from bios so VPS can be able to started.

Cant open http://IP-Address:4084

Please check if your iptables firewall is running You can disable it with the following command :

root> service iptables stop

Error : The storage doesn’t exist

If you get this error while adding Sotrage, please execute the following command :
