Having just switched from a 18.04 container with a virtual environment install to a qcow2 VM install I can tell you the addition of Hass.IO supervision is nice once you adjust to it but it came at a cost for me of 512mb of extra ram and 3% points increase in CPU usage. I have the resources to spare but docker inside a VM comes at a cost.

Did you change your boot priority in proxmox for the VM?
Since the supervised installer was to be depreciated, this guide was made to help people find a new way to get HA running. In view of the fact that the plans for depreciation have been put on hold, this guide is now less useful.
However, it does work, and iāve been using it for a past week or so now.
I think this guide remains incredibly useful. Proxmox offers the simplicity of HassOS with the ability to run other stuff on your machine. Some of us prefer to use it even if Home Assistant Supervised remains a supported path.
That doesnāt really affect my suggestion at all. I also got it working, but in a way that I think is slightly more efficient for the performance characteristics that I value, by using the command:
qemu-img convert -f vmdk -O raw hassos-3.13.vmdk hassos-3.13.img
instead of the qcow2.
Again, this would be for users who are more concerned about minimizing CPU/RAM usage than hard disk usage.

Well it does work with the vmdk file but itās now named hassos_ova-3.13.vmdk and I did not find it to improve CPU / RAM usage compared to a qcow2 install. What difference did you see?
Youāre right about the filename, my bad, I was going from memory. I had just read about the hypothetical differences between the image types as I tried to wrap my head around them. Thank you for actually testing them head to head. In that case, no change seems necessary to the guide as written.
FWIW Whiskerz script also installs the qcow2 image and I just used the script to create another VM on my Proxmox. Worked perfectly in seconds.

I skimmed through the code of the script and I believe it actually downloads the vmdk image and converts it to qcow2. I have since looked at all the settings and recreated the steps manually (including the conversion of the vmdk file to qcow2) and it worked perfectly.
Why recreate manually what the script does you may ask yourself?
Because I wanted to understand how to build a a VM in proxmox. It was was a very informative endeavor. Iām a lot more comfortable using proxmox than I was 2 days agoā¦which isnāt saying that much because I knew absolutely nothing 2 days ago. 
Anyway thanks for the guide @cyberwarfare. I used your command line to convert from vmdk to qcow2 and import into my VM. It was the final step I needed for my manual config.

Trying to read up on the benefits of a supervised install. Hereās an excerpt from a recent blog post:
"The benefit of running the Supervisor is that you are able to keep Home Assistant up to date from within Home Assistant, and easily install add-ons that are pre-configured to be able to integrate with Home Assistant.
The Supervisor is an extremely complicated program that interacts with a wide range of applications and components in the host operating system. Examples are Docker containers, DNS, sound and USB hardware sticks that users want to use with Home Assistant. The Supervisor is controlled from Home Assistant which allows us to create a full home automation hub experience."
Guess i have to try it out, because so far with my perhaps limited requirements the proxmox lxc ubuntu 20.04 template have me covered. Using automations in text editor, use dehydrated script to manage tls cert .
Proxmox defaults to thin provisioning so you get that benefit as well.
First time on Proxmox and I also tested the Whiskerz script and it worked perfect but I had to change the network card from Virtl0 to E1000 to get network to work.
Iāll check and see what mine is tomorrowā¦ but I never changed it from whatever the default was. I do remember having issues with a MAC address thoughā¦ it seemed to use the same address for every VM which didnāt work so goodā¦ (I assume you didnāt use the L container but the VM image script?)
I used the script on the site https://github.com/whiskerz007/proxmox_hassos_install so I have not checked what image was loaded.
bash -c "$(wget -qLO - https://github.com/whiskerz007/proxmox_hassos_install/raw/master/install.sh)"
So my HassOS is
I installed from here:
Install HassOS in a VM using Whiskers one line script from GitHub - whiskerz007/proxmox_hassos_install
wget -qO - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/whiskerz007/proxmox_hassos_install/master/install.sh | bash -s local-lvm
i get error with the script, no gui after vm boot, also this guide 
anyone have that issue?
have what issue. you have posted no logs, screenshots, NOTHING to enable anyone to help you
First one: RELAX and donāt shout, iām not your friend. If you want to help me, it is not good start.
So say that:
kisses and hugs
try to post some vm logs:

local is not normally configured for storing VMs. Replace local in the command line with your VM storage location.
You need to enable ālocalā to store VM images. That would address your issues.
So I got the qcow image installed and working just wondering what the login is for the VM that way I can update the VM when needed
