Installer and integrity information

• Official Proxmox VE ISO downloads
• Proxmox ISO directory and signature guidance

At review time, the current published Proxmox VE ISO was 9.2-1. This is a time-stamped reference only. Before installation, record the actual filename, release, official SHA-256 value, installation date and signature or checksum verification used for the selected image.

After installation, record privately:

installer filename
release and installation date
official integrity value
pveversion -v output
configured package repository channel
package state after the initial update

Do not publish real host identifiers, subscription details, repository credentials or private configuration output.

Project application rules

• verify documentation against the installed release
• prefer the official guide and API Viewer over copied command snippets
• retain physical or independent console access during network and major update changes
• treat guest backup, guest restore and host reconstruction as separate validation concerns
• review LXC bind and device mount behavior before claiming complete backups
• configure API access through reviewed roles and ACL paths rather than broad administrator rights
• keep TLS verification enabled and secrets outside Git
• add storage, network and backup-run entities to the public schema only after live fields are reviewed
