> **Summary**: A repeatable bare-metal provisioning workflow that converts a minimal Debian server into a ready-to-manage Proxmox VE hypervisor with a single command.
> **Role**: Creator & maintainer (Ongoing open-source project)
> **Tech Stack**: Proxmox VE, Debian 12/13, Shell, Linux, Virtualization, Automation

## The Problem
Manual hypervisor installation is repetitive and easy to perform inconsistently, especially when rebuilding hosts or preparing multiple lab and server environments across different Debian releases.

## What Was Built & Technical Solution
I built a shell-based installer that detects Debian 12 or 13, selects the compatible Proxmox VE release, configures the required repositories and packages, and produces a consistent web-manageable host. The workflow is documented for use on dedicated servers and virtualization-capable VPS environments.

## Results & Impact
The project reduces a multi-step infrastructure setup to a repeatable command and supports both Proxmox VE 8.x and 9.x installation paths. It demonstrates Linux administration, defensive automation, release compatibility, documentation, and infrastructure reproducibility.
