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.
