## Create a VM to install OPT

Nothing to say that you just install the image you like, then do the following stuff.

* Detach the original harddisk, then using `qm importdisk 100 your-image.img local-lvm` to import the image to be the hard drive of the VM. Do not forget to change this harddisk as a `SATA` device.
    
* Change the boot order, and set the OPT as the only one left.
    
* Virtual BIOS should use SeaBIOS.
    
* Add the PCI net adapter properly, DO check the serial number, and NEVER add the LAN port to OPT, otherwise, you will lose your connection with the PVE.
    
    * As a recommendation, you should use leave the first port for LAN, so you just need to skim the first for convenience.
        

## Set the OPT system

There is nothing to say, or maybe you just recover from a previous backup.

## Set the PVE host system

* Install some basic software such as vim/nginx/certbot-with-its-cloudflare-plugin.
    
* Initialize the nginx setting, handling all the HTTPS network traffic.
    
* Backup all the files.
