Create basic Proxmox Debian 12 CT
Raw
README.md

Create new CT

General

  • CT ID: I keep these sequential and mappable to their LAN ip (e.g.: CT ID 201 -> 19.2.168.1.201)
  • Hostname: what Proxmox will call it (e.g. "bitcoind")
  • Password: VM's root password

Template

Use the standard Debian 12 template. If you haven't already downloaded it:

Go to the "local" drive in the Proxmox UI, "CT Templates" -> "Templates" and add if needed.

Disks

  • Storage: the "system" drive for the VM: local-lvm
  • Disk size: important data will go elsewhere so this just needs enough to run the "system" drive; 2-8 GB. Can resize the volume after the fact.

CPU & Memory

Can be adjusted later

Network

  • Set a static IPv4/CIDR: e.g. 192.168.1.201/24
  • Gateway: router's IP on the LAN (e.g. 192.168.1.254)

DNS

  • server: 8.8.8.8
