+# `debian-proxmox` ansible role
+
+This ansible role can be used to convert a (running and reachable) debian to a proxmox instance.
+
+It automates the instructions from https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Install_Proxmox_VE_on_Debian_11_Bullseye.
+
+## Usage
+
+This role will attempt to ensure that the `/etc/hosts` are configured correctly for PVE.
+The public IP of the server should be given in `debian_proxmox_public_ip` and defaults to
+`ansible_facts['eno1'].ipv4.address`.
+
+The hostname and fqdn should be correctly set in `debian_proxmox_hostname` and `debian_proxmox_fqdn`,
+and default to `ansible_hostname` and `ansible_fqdn` respectively.
+
+## Packages
+
+It is recommended to remove the packages for the `os-prober` (which would attempt to add VMs as bootable entries
+in the bootloader) and the default linux kernel `linux-image-amd64` / `linux-image-5.10*` (and use the proxmox-provided
+kernel instead). This role will remove those packages without asking, so be aware.
