As for an accurate list of things I have done from the start, that's where I cannot remember well enough, due to an incident, to be accurate enough for any useful level of troubleshooting.
Hence it is even more important to write things down as you do them.
It means that we can follow the steps and try to repeat an issue.
Without them even people without memory issues easily forget what they did.
/sbin/e-smith/audittools/newrpms
nextcloud.noarch 20.0.1-1.el7.sme @smecontribs
smeserver-nextcloud.noarch 1.2.0-11.el7.sme @smecontribs
Ahhhh so that is still installed then. You can't use the contrib AND install in an ibay..... no wonder you are in a mess (well, technically you could but don't go there).
I believe this will also be a good time to set up Proxmox
Yes, but if you have not used it before you will need a bit of practice.
Is your hardware up to it?
Would the qemu-guest-agent package would be useful in SME, or is SME too customized?
SME isn't 'customized' in the way you think. It is a templating system, rather than specialist binaries.
We try and leave it as close to vanilla OS as possible, and then add tools that make configuration easier.
Personally I have never run the Guest Agent and suffered no ill effects. Someone else may have experience.
Here's how if required:

I'll post back when it is in the smecontribs repo.
