Custom Proxmox VE LXC Images

Using Linux Containers can significantly improve deployment times to make customized instances of a system. For instance, you may want to create 10 unique instances of a system for training purposes, but don’t want to run custom code on each when it starts to generate key material, assign users, etc. Using Linux Containers can make that simple, but unfortunately it’s not always so simple to create that custom image for deployment. This post is going to cover the start to finish customization of an image (in this case, using Kali Linux) from the base image to one that can deploy in a non-privileged virtualization platform (in this case, Proxmox VE).

If you’d like more details, please check out the listing for the coin on Tindie. But what if you don’t know how to get started? Well, a friend of mine (Visual) and I recently played through this, and thought we’d document how to get started for anyone who needs a little extra help. Let’s get started!
