Proxmox is gaining a lot of traction in recent years, not just because it’s a great product and there isn’t nearly enough content out there about it. To help the people after me, and because I did this for work anyway, I created a short video on how to install FortiWeb on Proxmox and migrate the configuration from an existing FortiWeb instance running on VMware, so dear reader, watch and, hopefully, learn.
On that restore problem
I legitimately cannot explain why the restore process doesn’t work if you do it with a new file. I have attempted a lot of things, even doing it with a backup from the Proxmox FortiWeb, which also didn’t work, and the only difference I could see on the surface is the file size. That shouldn’t be a problem, but I can’t explain it otherwise. The only way I found to perform the restore is to work with either the original file or a direct copy of the file. Alas, it’s a mystery, but I found a way to do it, and that counted for my work.
Wrapping up
It’s a video post, so there isn’t a lot here, but thank you, dear reader, for your time today.
