# Create cloud-init template

1. Download the image on the Hypervisor (Proxmox)

```bash
wget https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/cloud/bullseye/20220121-894/debian-11-generic-amd64-20220121-894.raw
```

2\. Rename the image to something more normal:

```bash
mv debian-11-generic-amd64-20220121-894.raw debian11-cloudinit.raw
```

3\. Create the VM with a free number

```bash
qm create 101
```

4\. Import the raw image as disk for the vm (101 in our case) and specify the volume (vms in our case)

```bash
qm importdisk 101 debian11-cloudinit.raw vms
```
