Can I migrate my HexOS to KVM?


Question

Posted

I have had my NAS up for a while now, and I want to run Hex OS under KVM. I am wondering if I can transfer my hex os from bare metal to virtual without losing my data? If not, it's not the biggest deal but it would be cool to not have to transfer all my stuff to a backup and then back
I am very new to virtualization an KVM but the benefits i want from visualizing like that are juicy.

I’m not saying it’s impossible. There are guides online for migrating bare metal to KVM, Proxmox, VirtualBox, etc. However, this involves diving straight into a lot of advanced topics. My recommendation would be to back up your data and do a clean setup of KVM.

You’ll learn a lot if you go with QEMU + KVM, but if you want to get things up and running quickly and efficiently, Proxmox is a solid alternative.
