Proxmox VM Setup (Linux)

I have a fresh Proxmox installation in place and now need an experienced hand to complete the next step: configuring a set of Linux-based virtual machines from the ground up. Your job is to handle the full system setup and configuration workflow—networking, storage assignment, template creation, and any tweaks required so the VMs boot cleanly and are ready for application deployment.

Please bring solid, demonstrable experience with the Proxmox VE interface, CLI utilities, and typical KVM/QEMU guest-optimisation practices. Once you’re done I expect:

• A working pool of Linux VMs (Debian or Ubuntu preferred, but I’m open to other mainstream distros if you recommend them)
• Basic resource limits, bridge/VLAN networking configured, and a brief hand-over note explaining any custom settings

If you have suggestions for improving resilience or automating template rollout with Cloud-Init, let me know—I’m happy to incorporate best practices.
