Import Nextcloud VM OVA to Proxmox VE

How to import a Nextcloud VM OVA image file to a Proxmox VE server:

1. Unzip the file:

root@proxmox1:/var/lib/vz/images#
root@proxmox1:/var/lib/vz/images# tar -xvf Nextcloud_VM_v20_www.hanssonit.se.ova
Nextcloud_VM_www.hanssonit.se.ovf
Nextcloud_VM_www.hanssonit.se.mf
Nextcloud_VM_www.hanssonit.se-disk1.vmdk
Nextcloud_VM_www.hanssonit.se-disk2.vmdk
root@proxmox1:/var/lib/vz/images#
root@proxmox1:/var/lib/vz/images# ls -lah
total 3.6G
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4.0K Dec  6 14:33 .
drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4.0K Dec  6 14:00 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1.8G Dec  6 14:26 Nextcloud_VM_v20_www.hanssonit.se.ova
-rw-r--r-- 1   64   64 1.8G Oct 28 21:37 Nextcloud_VM_www.hanssonit.se-disk1.vmdk
-rw-r--r-- 1   64   64  17M Oct 28 21:38 Nextcloud_VM_www.hanssonit.se-disk2.vmdk
-rw-r--r-- 1   64   64  338 Oct 28 21:06 Nextcloud_VM_www.hanssonit.se.mf
-rw-r--r-- 1   64   64 7.4K Oct 28 21:06 Nextcloud_VM_www.hanssonit.se.ovf
root@proxmox1:/var/lib/vz/images#

2. Import the OVA/OVF using qm importovf:
qm importovf <vm-id> <file.ova> local-lvm 
My VM-ID was 101, so it looked like this: 

root@proxmox1:/var/lib/vz/images#
root@proxmox1:/var/lib/vz/images# qm importovf 101 Nextcloud_VM_www.hanssonit.se.ovf local-lvm

3. I had to add a NIC in the VM Hardware:
