Hi, I’m new to DigitalOcean. I want to migrate from proxmox vms, and so I create .vmdk files from proxmox backups. I uploaded into Space (making the link public) and then I Upload the image using a Spaces link, the image is created ok. But when creating a Droplet using this Image, all seems ok, but I can’t see and volume created from this image, I open the console and the vm it waiting for a disk to boot. What I’m missing? (I tried uploading usim .qcow2 format, but the same problem)

Hi, Did you meet all DO requirements for custom image (filesystem, cloud-init installed, etc.) ? Here is an official DO doc: https://www.digitalocean.com/docs/images/custom-images/
Heya,
Images must be in one of the following file formats:
- Raw (
.img) with an MBR or GPT partition table - qcow2
- VHDX
- VDI
- VMDK
You can choose the option to boot with the recovery option. Just choose Recovery and then boot from the from Recovery ISO
