Migrate your DigitalOcean to Unraid VM with this simple and easy to follow guide. Save hundreds or thousands of dollars a year by running your VPS locally.
#Set a root password, this will be useful to use VNC Step 1. Shutdown/Restart droplet into Recovery Mode in DO Control Panel, take note of the temporary root password shown in console. Step 2: Then copy the remote disk image of the DigitalOcean droplet to your local machine ssh root@43.44.X.X "dd if=/dev/vda" | sudo dd of=88plug.raw bs=64k Step 3: Convert the .raw file to a compatible .img file for Unraid qemu-img convert -p -O raw 88plug.raw disk.img Step 4: Sync Image file to Unraid rsync -av --progress -e "ssh -T -c aes128-ctr -o Compression=no -x" disk.img root@tower.local:/mnt/user/domains/88plug/ Step 5: Create a new VM with the same OS as your DO Droplet.
Bonus round: For other systems use the handy table below
| Image format | Argument to qemu-img |
|---|---|
| QCOW2 (KVM, Xen) | qcow2 |
| QED (KVM) | qed |
| raw | raw |
| VDI (VirtualBox) | vdi |
| VHD (Hyper-V) | vpc |
| VMDK (VMware) | vmdk |
For ProxMox use qcow2
qemu-img convert -p -O raw 88plug.raw disk.qcow2
Import the disk into the VM configuration
#qm importdisk <vmid> <disk> <storage> qm list qm importdisk $VMID disk.qcow2 local-lvm
So you’ve finally installed ProxMox, now what?!
