+apt install libguestfs-tools  #needed for the virt-customize tool
+
+wget https://cloud.debian.org/images/cloud/trixie/latest/debian-13-genericcloud-amd64.qcow2 #the current Trixie latest cloud image available
+
+sha512sum debian-13-genericcloud-amd64.qcow2 #check against https://cloud.debian.org/images/cloud/trixie/latest/SHA512SUMS
+
+
+#customize the image:

+virt-customize -a debian-13-genericcloud-amd64.qcow2  --install qemu-guest-agent,curl,wget,nano,rsync,htop,tmux #tools I like to add
+
+virt-customize -a debian-13-genericcloud-amd64.qcow2 --run-command "sed -i 's/#PermitRootLogin prohibit-password/PermitRootLogin yes/' /etc/ssh/sshd_config" #to enable root login which is off by default
+
+virt-customize -a debian-13-genericcloud-amd64.qcow2 --run-command "sed -i 's/PasswordAuthentication no/PasswordAuthentication yes/' /etc/ssh/sshd_config" #to enable SSH authentication by password - my use choice
+
+qemu-img convert -O qcow2 -c -o preallocation=off debian-13-genericcloud-amd64.qcow2 debian-13-genericcloud-amd64-shrink.qcow2 #convert & compress qcow2 image
+
+
+#send image to PVE host:
+
+scp debian-13-genericcloud-amd64-shrink.qcow2 root@........................... #enter desired location on host node
+```
+
+In PVE host:
+
+    Create a VM 200 # use {vmid} you wish
+    Name: Debian-Trixie-CloudINIT-Template #name I used
+    Do not use any media, Qemu Agent (ticked), Remove all disk, 2 cores x86-64-v2-AES, 4096 RAM #settings I chose
+    Set to not run on completion
+
+
+In Host node shell:
+Code:
+
+qm importdisk 200 debian-13-genericcloud-amd64-shrink.qcow2 Storage --format qcow2 #change 200 to the actual {vmid} you used above & required Storage location, I used 'Storage'
+
+
+In GUI of VM 200 (or your {vmid} as above):
+
+    Remove the CD/DVD drive # I don't need one
+    Add unused disk as scsi0, ssd on discard on default nocache #my choices, adjust accordingly
+    Add cloud-init drive as ide0
+    In cloud-init set User as root & password, set IPV4 as dhcp #my choices, adjust accordingly
+    In VM Options set boot order scsi0 as first & only boot device
+    Convert VM 200 (or your {vmid} as above) to Template
+
+
+Done! #I make a backup of this VM template once done.
+
+Testing:
+
+    Create a Full clone
+    Set Cloud-Init settings of the clone as required & regenerate Cloud-Init image
+    Start cloned VM (This will fully setup the VM & should fully Update & Upgrade it)
+    Shutdown
+    In GUI; Remove Cloud-Init drive from Hardware
+
+Done!
