[TUTORIAL] Proxmox VE Installer on Debian 12 Bookworm

[mathewalves]

I've developed a script that streamlines the Proxmox installation process atop Debian 12 (Bookworm).
You can access to contribute or for more information in this Github Repository

Requirements​

- Installed Debian 12 Bookworm
- Superuser permissions
su root
- Installed Git
apt install git
- (Important) Clone the repository from the directory:
cd /

Usage Instructions​

1. Clone the repository to your Debian 12 system.

# With git already installed on your machine, clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/mathewalves/Proxmox-Debian12.git

# Access the downloaded folder with the 'cd' command
cd /Proxmox-Debian12

# Give execution permission to the setup
chmod +x ./setup

3. Run the setup.

./setup

From there, just follow the proxmox script installation setup

Note: This script is designed to run on a Debian 12 bookworm system.

Features​

1. Proxmox Installation: The script automatically installs Proxmox on the Debian 12 base.
2. Additional Packages: These additional packages are installed to enhance the user experience and provide useful tools for the system and Proxmox environment.
3. Bridge Creation: Facilitates network configuration by creating a bridge named vmbr0. You can choose to configure manually or use DHCP.

Thank you so much for this, you saved so much of my time diagnosing the problems on the latest Debian 12 during Proxmox VE installation.

Good idea to streamline this, yet I would still stuck to the official howto, which is just a few commands.

It would be way more useful to have an Ansible roles to roll out PBS and PVE; for the latter, an option to also create a cluster would be nice.

Thank you, thank you. Made life a whole lot easier.
I needed this install so I can dual boot my laptop. The standard Proxmox install wipes everything and the "install Proxmox on Debian"instructions might be challenging.
Everything is great!
A small typo in section 1, add a dot before the /, "cd /Proxmox-Debian12"

Excelente aporte, pero cuando lo instalo y termina nunca me abre la web de administración del proxmox. ¿alguna idea?
