I will check to directly provide uncompressed image. The benefit is not that important:

$ du --si flatcar_production_proxmoxve_image.img
548M	flatcar_production_proxmoxve_image.img
$ du --si flatcar_production_proxmoxve_image.img.bz2
546M	flatcar_production_proxmoxve_image.img.bz2


## Preparing the image

Promox VE graphical UI only supports ISO images, but the Flatcar image is in QCOW2 format.

We can try to directly provide iso images to avoid this extra step.

EDIT: As discussed here flatcar/scripts#1783 (comment), as an alternative, one can use the Flatcar ISO image (https://stable.release.flatcar-linux.net/amd64-usr/current/flatcar_production_iso_image.iso) and attach a disk to the instance from the graphical UI then run flatcar-install ... script to install Flatcar on the disk.
