No…
Debian 12.5 seems to recognize Proxmox, and includes the qemu-guest-agent automatically…
Did I mention I really like Debian?

Hi Andy, I managed to follow these instructions and have the NS8 up and running on Proxmox 8. What are the login usern & password for the Web gui? Not sure if I am missing something here?
Hi @HZK
You’re on the right steps…
Now comes the “Read The Fine Manual” RTFM bit…
https://docs.nethserver.org/projects/ns8/en/latest/install.html
Follow " Post-installation steps" on that page to login, change your Password, and define a new NS8 Cluster.
Note:
https://<server_ip_or_fqdn>/cluster-admin/
The trailing slash is critical!
Depending on your use case, I tend to use 8cores (Not Sockets!), 8, 16 or even 32 GB RAM, and as starters a 200 GB SSD virtio Disk. NIC is also Virtio.
These values are good for small and medium enterprises from 1-50 users…
→ Enlarging the virtual Disk in Proxmox is fast (2-3 minutes!) - making it smaller is a PITA. So start small!
Change that on Proxmox as needed, and reboot NS8 VM!
Debian already has the qemu-agent installed, so it “just works”.
Note2:
Do NOT underestimate the IO issues…
You should run this at least on a SSD based system.
Even Enterprise Class HDs with 7200 RPM have issues, I haven’t tested 10K RPM Disks yet.
An issue due to our devs creating NS8 on modern NVME powered Notebooks, and Proxmox with all NVMEs, and a “Test System” with only 20 GB… They had to work fast and did all in all a very good job, considering Red-Hat and Big Blue changed the rules in the middle of a game…

PS:
Four minutes from question to answer…
Without payment - That’s open source for you!
But not everything with an “open source” label is actually that!

Thanks you Andy, you have been more than helpful. Am running on i7 PC 13th edt, 24cores, with 4TB Nvme, and 64GB of memory. Will be interesting to see if I have user issues if I change the IP address with Debian-12/NS8.
Why trouble yourself with this: You probably do not need to change the IP afterwards, if you set the right static IP beforehand.
Compare the /etc/network/interfaces of your Proxmox and use the same system as your LAN interface in Proxmox uses (usually vmbr0).
Then use this as template for setting /etc/network/interfaces in your Debian VM (Proxmox and NS8 both base here on Debian…) - and reboot.
Do this before creating any NS8 stuff!
Proxmox has the advantage of allowing you to snapshot or backup each step…

PS: I think your hardware won’t present issues, it’s powerful enough…
PS No2:
Think of building a good server like a house…
You don’t start with the roof, then try to dig a hole underneath for the foundations…
You dig the foundations first, then walls, floors, and the roof last!
My NS8 almost always use x.x.x.20 or x.x.x.21…
