Creating container on local storage. How?

[Maren]

I normally restore an previous dump when I create a template... but I am creating my frist debian 10 and the UI doesn't allow me to specify zero storage.... If i give it anything other than 0 it will create a raw file for the file system.

What is the way to do this?

Yes, one cannot create and extract a Debian 10 to nothing? Or do I miss something?

so how do I use local directory subvol instead of a raw file?

normally I restore backups to a zero size file sysytem so that they are not setup inside a raw file, file system. I use this command

pct restore nnn vzdump-lxc-xxxx--nnn-nnn-.tar --storage local --rootfs local:0

so how do I make the fs to be a local root fs not a raw file?
