This will make the installer skip keyboard configuration, language, etc. Result: ssh installer console. Debian Installer can do all this alone. Here is a test setup for illustration:.

So here is my minimal and lazy solution to Debian headless installation image building. I mostly documented it for myself but maybe it's useful for someone out there.
This is used to download the example-preseed. ARCH indicates the target processor architecture — amd64 or i This variable is used to construct the correct Debian image name, identify the installation folder in the image install.
If you set it incorrectly, you may overwrite your system disk! QEMU is the name of the qemu-system binary that matches the target architecture optional. I didn't have much luck with booting i images via UEFI — neither the stock images not the remastered ones. A minimal-preseed.
That file configures the bare minimum to get past the installer questions before the ssh connection becomes available. To get a full example-preeed. Use any of these files as a template to create a custom configuration file.
This is also the place to configure the login password for the network installation. For comprehensive information on preseeding, study this:. This may be handy if you want to use this for Debian derived distributions such as Ubuntu — those should work but are largely untested.
Ubuntu etc. You can follow the boot process in the emulator and eventually connect to the installer like this:. So you can test-drive the installation before walking over to the server room. Create a Linux user account, e. For this example installation, I will choose the name " administrator" with the user name administrator don't use the user name admin as it is a reserved name on Debian Linux :.
Now you have to partition your hard disk. For hosting systems like the ISPConfig 3 perfect server tutorials you might want to choose e. Then select the partitioning scheme. As mentioned before, I select All files in one partition recommended for new users for simplicity's sake - it's up to your likings what you choose here:. When you're finished, select Finish partitioning and write changes to disk :.
Select Yes when you're asked: " Write changes to disk? Afterward, your new partitions are created and formatted. Now the partitions are created and the base system is installed:. It might be that the following screens pop's up, depending on your install media.
I will do a network-based installation all additional installation packages get downloaded from the internet , so I choose here to not scan any additional install disks. Next, you must configure apt.
Because we are using the Debian Netinstall CD, which contains only a minimal set of packages, we must use a network mirror. Select the country where the network mirror that you want to use is located usually this is the country where your Server system is located :. Some might argue that one should not install the Standard System Utilities on a minimal server but in my opinion, you will need most of the standard utilities later anyway so I will install them on this server as part of the base setup.
The installer might ask you in which partition Grub shall be installed. The base system installation is now finished. The first boot of the newly installed Debian 10 server: first you will see the boot screen of the Grub Boot Loader, press enter or wait a few seconds, the boot process will continue automatically.
Login with username "root" and the root password that you have chosen during installation. When you log in by SSH, then use the username "administrator" as the root user is disabled for remote logins. Then run the command "su":.
I'll use nano as my favorite shell text editor, others prefer vi that is not that easy to use for beginners. With the following command I will install both editors:. You don't have to do this if you use a different text editor such as joe or the built-in editor from mc. Because the Debian 10 installer has configured our system to get its network settings via DHCP, we have to change that now because a server should have a static IP address.
The virtual machine image uses the following login details:. The IP of the VM is Please change all the above passwords to secure the virtual machine. I have never used a pre-final-release of an os i test it at the moment with your perfect server debian 9 nginx guide, no issues until now - excepting some adjustments in how to install some little parts. Or is there anything additional to do?
