How to update VM?

Installation
1

I am very new to using VMs. I just moved my HASS install from a Raspberry Pi to Proxmox on a NUC using the instructions in this thread. Now I have what I suspect is a pretty dumb question, which is, what is the best way to update the VM images? Is this done within Proxmox (if so, how), or through the HASS GUI itself?

Keep proxmox up to date using the updates in the PVE section of the proxmox ui

HA will tell you in settings when it needs updating, just do the updates from settings when it tells you.

Setup backups in proxmox, its the easiest way to restore stuff if needed.

Thanks. I suspected this was the answer, just wanted to be sure.

I generally hold back a bit with Proxmox updates. If you are not exposing your admin interface to the internet (which is really not recommended in anyway) or running VMs for thirdparty users, then the updates is rarely super important.
When I do update Proxmox, then I shut down HA first from within HA.
Proxmox generally need to restart after the updates and HA might not shut down cleanly when commanded to from Proxmox.

Great suggestions - appreciated.
