It’s now been several weeks since the release of Debian 13 (Trixie), but there is still no official LXC container template for it from Proxmox.
Back when Debian 13 was in its final freeze stage, I had already created an early template (debian-13-standard_13.x-beta_lxc_proxmox_amd64.tar.gz) so I and also you could start testing. Since then, I’ve prepared a proper final version to share with the community, as many of you guys asked me to create one.
This image is based on the official Proxmox Debian 12 (Bookworm) container template, which I upgraded to Debian 13 (Trixie). The result is a clean, ready-to-use LXC template that behaves just like the official ones and works on both Proxmox 8 and 9.
If you want to get started with Debian 13 inside containers, simply place the template in your Proxmox storage and create a new container as usual. This saves the time and hassle of building your own upgraded image, so you can immediately focus on testing applications or preparing migrations.

You can use this LXC Template on Proxmox 8.x and Proxmox 9.x systems:
