Debian 13 (Trixie) LXC Container Image for Proxmox 8 and Proxmox 9

(2025-08-24):
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 .... [read more]

Debian 13 (Trixie) Beta LXC Container Image for Proxmox 8 and Proxmox 9

(2025-07-31):
With Proxmox 9 now officially released as the first beta version and based on Debian Trixie, and the final Debian 13 release just a few days away, it makes sense to start preparing and testing early. Especially in virtualized environments like Proxmox, it’s helpful to evaluate upcoming systems before they become the new stable default. I’ve noticed that there isn’t a widely available LXC container template for Debian Trixie yet. Since I wanted to begin testing some setups myself, I decided to create a Debian Trixie-based LXC template image that can be used on both Proxmox 8 and Proxmox 9 installations. This makes it easy to spin up containers running Debian 13 without having to build the template from scratch. If you’re curious about how your applications behave on the next major Debian release or if you’re planning future upgrades, this should save you some time and effort. To use .... [read more]

Run Linux Containers on FreeBSD 14 with Podman

(2024-10-06):
In one of my recent blog posts, I shared my journey as a long-time FreeBSD user. I talked about how I’ve been incredibly happy with the system, appreciating its rock-solid stability, flexibility, and performance. But, like every OS, FreeBSD had its gaps, especially when it came to some modern developments – one of which has been a pain point for many of us working with containerized environments: native support for Docker and Podman Linux images. Until recently, this missing functionality made working with containerized applications a bit of a challenge. Let me explain why that’s changed and how FreeBSD 14 has finally caught up to the container party. The Old Way: bhyve Linux VMs For a long time, one of the workarounds for running Linux containers on FreeBSD was to spin up a Linux VM using bhyve, FreeBSD’s native hypervisor. While bhyve is fantastic in its own right (fast, lightweight, .... [read more]
