A clean start – How to prepare a minimal Debian template for LXC containers
In my recent push for more virtualization I sat down today and constructed a very minimal Debian template that only has the bare necessities installed to be able to communicate on the network and operate the base-system. This template will be used to spin up LXC containers on a hypervisor, which is very fast and has virtually no overhead.
This post describes the steps you have to take to achieve the same.
Proxmox on Debian at Hetzner with multiple IP addresses
I’ve spent most of my day today trying a plethora of different ways on how to configure Proxmox on a Hetzner server with multiple IP addresses. Most of the tutorials I found online gave a good deal of information but where lacking in one or two crucial details. Shortly before I was ready to throw my computer out of the window, I had success and managed to get everything set up the way I wanted it.
This aims to be the definitive guide on how to accomplish the aforementioned task. When ready the setup includes the following features:
- Host bound to main IPv4 address, that comes with the server (and one of the 18,446,744,073,709,551,616 included IPv6 addresses)
- Every IPv4 address of a separately delegated subnet usable for virtual machines
- Internal private network for inter-virtual machine communication and non publicly accessible VMs
New 42dev hosting products
I’ve recently formalized the hosting packages of my company 42dev.
If you are ever in need of professional website– or domain hosting, want to set up some email accounts or need a fully managed server, customized for your application or service, I’d be thrilled to talk to you.

I am frequently connecting to several servers over SSH at once and like to use tmux to organize those different sessions. To be able to keep track which pane is which server I am using the following function in my .bashrc file to display the machine name in tmux’s pane title.
