Description

I'm trying to follow the tutorial to provision CoreOS on Proxmox but getting confused at the step "Downloading Fedora CoreOS Images".

Instructions say to use the following command to download the QCOW2 image to the Proxmox storage created in the previous step:

coreos-installer download -s $STREAM -p proxmoxve -f qcow2.xz --decompress -C /var/coreos

But at this stage we're still in the Proxmox shell on the VE host and don't have access to coreos-installer?

Research direction

Start with the provisioning-proxmoxve tutorial at “Downloading Fedora CoreOS Images” and trace which environment each command is intended to run in. Done when the instructions clearly identify where coreos-installer should be available and how the QCOW2 image reaches /var/coreos on the Proxmox storage.
