qm-config: Fetch the configuration values from the given snapshot.
$ qm config --snapshot ${snapshot_name} ${vm_id}
try on your machine

The command "qm config --snapshot ${snapshot_name} ${vm_id}" is used to configure or modify a snapshot for a specific virtual machine (VM). Here's what each element of the command means:

  • "qm" refers to the Proxmox VE Qemu Manager command-line interface (CLI) tool used to manage VMs.
  • "config" is a command within the "qm" tool that allows modifying or configuring VM settings.
  • "--snapshot" is an option that specifies that we want to work with snapshots.
  • "${snapshot_name}" is a placeholder for the name of the snapshot you want to work with. You should replace "${snapshot_name}" with the actual name of the snapshot you want to configure.
  • "${vm_id}" is a placeholder for the ID of the VM you want to work with. You should replace "${vm_id}" with the actual ID of the VM.

By executing this command, you can modify the settings of a specific snapshot for a VM in Proxmox VE.
