seljuke/pve-vma-buster repository overview

⁠pve-vma-buster

Proxmox vma archive binary and some other usefull tools included docker image based on debian buster.

Inspired from ganehag's repo⁠.

Tools to extract, decrompress and convert vma archive.

• zstd, lzo, gzip, vma, qemu-utils

⁠Example Usage

You can convert vma archive disk to raw image and convert it to vmdk

$ mkdir /dump
$ mv vzdump-qemu.vma.zst /dump/
$ docker run --rm -v /dump:/backup seljuke/pve-vma-buster:latest bash -c "zstd -d vzdump-qemu.vma.zst; \
    vma extract -v vzdump-qemu.vma extracted; \
    qemu-img convert -pO vmdk extracted/disk-drive-scsi0.raw disk-drive-scsi0.vmdk"

now you can use /dump/disk-drive-scsi0.vmdk disk for importing proxmox vm to virtualbox or vmware.

If the vma archive compressed with lzop use lzop -d to decrompress.
