### Step 11.1 — Download the Ubuntu installer ISO
The Frigate VM needs Ubuntu Server 24.04 LTS. On your workstation, go to
**ubuntu.com/download/server** and download
`ubuntu-24.04.1-live-server-amd64.iso` (or the latest 24.04 point release).
**VM 100 (Frigate)** needs Ubuntu Server 24.04.4 LTS.
**VM 101 (desktop)** needs Ubuntu Desktop 24.04.4 LTS.
Download both on your workstation:
- Server: `ubuntu.com/download/server` → `ubuntu-24.04.4-live-server-amd64.iso`
- Desktop: `ubuntu.com/download/desktop` → `ubuntu-24.04.4-desktop-amd64.iso`
Or download directly on the Proxmox host (see Step 11.2).

Repeat steps 11.9–11.10 for VMs 101 and 102. The installer flow is identical.
Use `vm101` and `vm102` as hostnames.
**VM 101 (Desktop):** Start the VM, open the console, and work through the
Ubuntu Desktop installer. Use `vm101` as the hostname. The desktop installer
is graphical — click through the screens. When prompted for storage, install
only to the 64GB OS disk; leave the data drives untouched.
**VM 102 (Server):** Repeat steps 11.9–11.10. Use `vm102` as the hostname.
During the storage step in each VM: install Ubuntu only on the small OS disk.
