         A DietPi disk image can be transferred to the Proxmox server via e.g. USB flash drive or by uploading it as CD/DVD ISO image. Since the import needs to be done via console (accessible via web interface and SSH), we guide you through the path of downloading it directly on the Proxmox server.
 
     1. Select the Proxmox node, then click the **Shell** button at the top right corner. Alternatively connect via SSH to the Proxmox server, using the same login credentials you used for the Proxmox web interface.
