Serial console installation

[Keeper of the Keys]

Hey,

I saw a bunch of older topics that say it is only possible to install via serial console by doing a Debian install and then converting it to Proxmox (as documented here for Proxmox 5 and here for Debian Buster [oldstable]), is this still the best/only way to do this? And will the Buster documentation work for Bullseye (as far as I recall proxmox 7 is based on Bullseye).

Thanks!

EDIT: Turn out I was completely wrong about no plans for changes to the installer.

Cool thanks!

BTW it may be good to modify the apt documentation to use signed-by= and not place the gpg key in trusted.d, it is my understanding that this is a more secure way of working since the trust granted to the key is limited only to the specific repo it belongs to (as per here).

ie.

echo "deb [arch=amd64 signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/proxmox-release-bullseye.gpg] http://download.proxmox.com/debian/pve bullseye pve-no-subscription" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pve-install-repo.list
wget https://enterprise.proxmox.com/debian/proxmox-release-bullseye.gpg -O /usr/share/keyrings/proxmox-release-bullseye.gpg
