Need help increasing storage space.

Running a VM with DA on it and am trying to increase the storage space for my ever-growing amount of data.

I have doubled my 64GB disk in Proxmox and have used the new 64GB with cfdisk to extend "/dev/sda3".
What I am having trouble with is now giving that space to the / filesystem.

What do I do now?
 
I am not an proxmox user but an VMware ESXi and VirtualBox user.

Is there a good reason to add an "new disk" to the VM in your use case?
Because what I would normally do (And recommend) is: just create an VM with enough storage space for the future.
And if for whatever reason I need to, I just extend the max storage of the VM so that the current VM disk gets bigger instead of (In reality) trying to create an software raid 0. (That also has its own safety concerns.)

Only have around 400GB and knew that we would need storage elsewhere. Did not anticipate needing it on our webserver but as you can see, only have <1GB left. So only gave it 64GB originally but yea now we need more.

I already did the gparted bit. Not sure how to do the resize2fs part though.
