I Use windows admin center - it is a sever 2019 no gui install. I am uising these generic instructions to import so won't document in detail.
Learning from the disaster moving my DCs where i went the hardway (backup and restore - which did work) this time i will use the right versions of the disk import command qm disk import [...]
I had real issues with driver install - while i ran the installer and everything seemed to install it didn't
Now that i have nailed the qm disk import command and given all linux kernel have the virtio drivers in them after 5.6 this should be a breeze!
Export VHD from Hyper-V into share proxmox can see (tbh at this point if you don't know how...)
I created a 4GB VM with no disks at all andthe virtio network. Make sure you connect it to a live bridge or hass will hand at starting network manager I added a TPM drive
This one is the one that has to work, even more so the domain controllers. This is what my swarm looks like
you may want to read from the bottom up as later migrations are where i had the process more locked and less experimentation
So the plan is as follows (and is based on my experience with home assistant oddlye enough)

This assumes you are running Proxmox 8.2 and that the line source /etc/network/interfaces.d/* is at the end of the interfaces file (this is automatically added to both new and upgraded installations of Proxmox 8.2).
This changes the previous file design thanks to @NRGNet for the suggestions to move thunderbolt settings to a file in /etc/network/interfaces.d it makes the system much more reliable in general, more maintainable esp for folks using IPv4 on the private cluster network (i still recommend the use of the IPv6 FC00 network you will see in these docs)
This container puts a label on each machine based on a config that matches service names. If the service is running the label gets a 1 and if the label get as 0 its not running. this can be used with constraints to either locate serices on a node with another service OR make sure a service doesn't land on a node with another service
I would love to find a better version of this that does this without the need for the manual config file (you can use a file bindmount instead of a config if you prefer)
State is all read-only in a config
This is currently a work-in-progress documentation - rough notes for me, maybe missing a lot or wrong
The idea is to replace GlusterFS running inside the VM with storage on my cephfs cluster. This is my proxmox cluster and it runs both the storage and is the hypervisor for my docker VMs.
Other possible approaches:

This assumes you are running Proxmox 8.4 and that the line source /etc/network/interfaces.d/* is at the end of the interfaces file (this is automatically added to both new and upgraded installations of Proxmox 8.2).

I learn't an important lesson today, never ever remove ms_bind_ipv4 = false from ceph.conf or the cephFS will be fucked. note also recreating the mgrs and mds seems advisable too
only ever reboot one node, if that doesn work or you see libceph error storm when it reboot - solve that first (make sure no wrong mons defined in storage.cfg or ceph.conf)
