There are many times when we need to find the path to certain configuration files for Proxmox LXC or KVM or OpenVZ.
It takes time to constantly keep looking them up or remember them so here are all the important path for anyone who needs it when dealing with Proxmox! |
OpenVZ
config: /etc/vz/conf/xxx.conf data: /var/lib/vz/root/xxx template: /var/lib/vz/template/cache snapshot: /var/lib/vz/dump OpenVZ config: /etc/vz/vz.conf
KVM

LXC
