Creating a Debian 13 KVM on Proxmox 9.x (cloud-init)

The image we are going to use can be downloaded from this URL:

We start by uploading the image to Proxmox:

../../_images/1-cl.png ../../_images/2-cl.png ../../_images/3-cl.png ../../_images/4-cl.png ../../_images/5-cl.png ../../_images/6-cl.png ../../_images/7-cl.png ../../_images/8-cl.png ../../_images/9-cl.png ../../_images/10-cl.png

We select the created disk, then detach it and delete it.

../../_images/11-cl.png ../../_images/12-cl.png ../../_images/13-cl.png

Now, from the console, we need to link the downloaded image (.qcow2) to the VM. To do this, type the following:

qm disk import <vmid> /path/donde/bajamos/imagen.qcow2 storage --format qcow2
../../_images/14-cl.png ../../_images/15-cl.png

Once the command has been executed, return to the UI. At this point, you will see the new disk, but in an unused state. To attach it, double-click on it and press the add button.

../../_images/16-cl.png

Then, continue with the installation of the Cloud Init Drive, serial console, username and password, etc:

../../_images/23-cl.png ../../_images/24-cl.png ../../_images/17-cl.png ../../_images/18-cl.png ../../_images/19-cl.png ../../_images/20-cl.png ../../_images/21-cl.png

This is the final step, which consists of creating the boot order, placing the scsi0 disk we created in the first position:

../../_images/22-cl.png

If everything was successful, after starting the VM we will see the login prompt in the console.
