Hello.
In order to reduce attack surface and disk space requirements, I like to build my Linux systems from the absolute minimum. To that end, is Proxmox willing to create a base Debian template that has literally nothing installed but the base system? I.e. select nothing in tasksel when asked, and disable auto-install of recommended and suggested packages. Yes, this means there's no commonly used system utilities, but they're easy enough to install manually if I need them.
Right now, it actually takes me longer to figure out what I can remove from the Debian Standard templates than to just install a new empty system from scratch, but there's no procedure documented on how to create such a container. (I have to use a full VM.)
Thank you!
