@AT-StephenDetomasi commented on GitHub (Dec 29, 2024):

I just tried the Ubuntu 24.04 VM as well - it also does not prompt for HDD size. This is less of an issue on LXCs since you can easily extend the storage (after all it is a quota and not a conventional virtual disk), but with VMs you must manually repartition which is sub-optimal.

Hello @AT-StephenDetomasi

I'm just looking at this now, what would you recommend as a default disk-size?

Thanks.

@AT-StephenDetomasi commented on GitHub (Dec 30, 2024):

8GB would be my minimum recommended size, but user choice here is important, as some people may want to install a desktop environment for various reasons. In my situation I want to install a desktop environment and have a disk size of around 25GB. Whilst I could manually resize partitions via a GParted Live environment afterwards, this is a bit of a chore.

The other thing not mentioned is swap, but this is probably less important.

I've got something running in my repo at the moment, I assume this is what you're looking for:

The partitions haven't been adjusted, is this something you need?

That definitely looks like we're on the right track. That said, typically when a user selects a given disk size as part of an operating system installation on a new system, it should be assumed that the entire disk would be allocated for this. I can't think of a good reason why someone would want it any other way...

Hello @michelroegl-brunner

I did have the code for Debian but the other VMs also need the same change.

You can carry on with this, I'm currently out of the country with work till mid Feb so don't have access to my code or software.

I desperately need this too. I tried to go with the default 2gb and expand it using GUI and CLI but no joy. Always run into problems. Please can you add a HDD size prompt? It would be a life-saver. 2Gb fills up just with the updates.

Thank you. Using the same script? bash -c "$(wget -qLO - https://github.com/tteck/Proxmox/raw/main/vm/debian-vm.sh)" ?

Will it now prompt for HDD size?
