# Proxmox Debian 13 GenericCloud Template

Expected VM defaults:

- Debian 13 Trixie GenericCloud image
- Q35 machine type
- UEFI / OVMF
- VirtIO SCSI controller
- VirtIO network device
- CPU type `host`
- QEMU Guest Agent enabled
- Cloud-Init drive attached
- 2 vCPU, 2 GB RAM, 32 GB disk unless a service needs more

Cloud-Init is only responsible for Day 0 bootstrap: user creation, SSH
hardening, Docker installation, baseline packages, firewall defaults, directory
layout, PKI directory preparation, and `ansible-pull`.

Applications and durable service configuration belong in Ansible roles.
