I'm going to go the route of installing Proxmox ontop of a fresh installation on Debian. The reason is that I want full disk encryption for the boot drive and afaict that's not achievable with the Proxmox installer.

The boot drive is a 1TB nvme.

I tried reading the documentation and searching the forum, but I can't find any recommendations or suggestions on the layout etc. for the boot drive partitions.

The boot drive is essentially only going to have the OS, additional packages, ISOs, and templates.

"Everything" else (VM disks, container volumes etc.) is stored on other drives.

FWIW the system is based on a i5 13400 CPU with 64GB DDR5 RAM.
