As a person who just installed proxmox for the first time a couple of weeks ago, does this allow me to fix some of my mistakes and convert VMs to LXCs?
i don’t think so
You could just start over if you dont have much invested into your current setup.
As someone who also started proxmox fairly recently, I found that the community has these really cool scripts that you can use to get started. Obviously you’re running bash scripts on your main node for some, so there are risks involved with that but in my experience it’s been great.
