PVE Adopt a Native LXD/LXC
From WikiMLT
Converting an LXD/LXC to a ProxmoxVE/LXC is pretty easy, because the are (almost) the same thing.
Export the Container
Go into the instance where the LXD is installed and create a backup of the LXC you want to clone. If the container is installed within LVM you need to mount the root filesystem somewhere and create the archive from inside the mount point. I will going to play the other scenario where the LXC is installed within a directory on Ubuntu 22.04.
lxc config show --expanded webserver | grep 'privileged'
security.privileged: "false"
cd /var/snap/lxd/common/lxd/storage-pools/default/containers/webserver/rootfs
tar --exclude=dev --exclude=sys --exclude=proc --exclude=tmp/* \
-czvf /home/backups/lxc-webserver.tar.gz ./
Note in the commands above:
webserveris the name of the container.lxc-webserver.tar.gzis the name of the archive file of that container.

Transfer the Container to the PVE Instance
Copy the backup of an LXD/LXC to a ProxmoxVE's template directory within its storage. In my case I'm using a command as the shown below.
rsync --progress \
remote.host:/home/backups/lxc-webserver.tar.gz \
/mnt/pve/ssd-1TB/template/cache/
