### Using
Proxmox VE 6

## Initial Setup

**TODO**

1. See [Debian Server: Initial Setup](../debian-server/#initial-setup).
    - **TODO**: Differences.
1. Disable the console MOTD:
    - Disable `pvebanner.service`.
    - Clear or update `/etc/issue` (e.g. use use the logo).
1. Disable IPv6 NDP:
    - It's enabled on all bridges by default, meaning the node may become accessible to untrusted bridged networks even when no IPv4 or IPv6 addresses are specified.
    - **TODO**
    - Reboot (now or later) and make sure there's no unexpected neighbors (`ip -6 n`).

1. Install the guest agent:
    - Linux: `spice-vdagent`
