+# Proxmox VE
+
+To enable Vitastor support in Proxmox Virtual Environment (6.4 and 7.1 are supported):
+
+- Add the corresponding Vitastor Debian repository into sources.list on Proxmox hosts
+  (buster for 6.4, bullseye for 7.1)
+- Install vitastor-client, pve-qemu-kvm, pve-storage-vitastor (* or see note) packages from Vitastor repository
+- Define storage in `/etc/pve/storage.cfg` (see below)
+- Block network access from VMs to Vitastor network (to OSDs and etcd),
+  because Vitastor doesn't support authentication
+- Restart pvedaemon: `systemctl restart pvedaemon`
+
+`/etc/pve/storage.cfg` example (the only required option is vitastor_pool, all others
+are listed below with their default values):
+
+```
+vitastor: vitastor
+    # pool to put new images into
+    vitastor_pool testpool
+    # path to the configuration file
+    vitastor_config_path /etc/vitastor/vitastor.conf
+    # etcd address(es), required only if missing in the configuration file
+    vitastor_etcd_address 192.168.7.2:2379/v3
+    # prefix for keys in etcd
+    vitastor_etcd_prefix /vitastor
+    # prefix for images
+    vitastor_prefix pve/
+    # use NBD mounter (only required for containers)
+    vitastor_nbd 0
+```
+
+\* Note: you can also manually copy [patches/PVE_VitastorPlugin.pm](patches/PVE_VitastorPlugin.pm) to Proxmox hosts
+as `/usr/share/perl5/PVE/Storage/Custom/VitastorPlugin.pm` instead of installing pve-storage-vitastor.
