Many thanks to the OP of this guide @enjikaka. I've decided to fork and submit a few updates. Progression through unlearning. Numerous guides exist but none were as comprehensive and direct. Minor updates to the apt repo and apt sources in Step 8 and a few cosmetic things.

Install "RPi OS Lite 64-bit" with Raspberry Pi Imager. It's listed under "Raspberry Pi OS (Other)"

Assign your Pi a static IP in your router, then SSH into the Pi and launch the network config GUI with nmtui and adjust to the static ip.

• Alternatively, reserve an IP on our router. See this example: https://forums.serverbuilds.net/t/guide-static-ip-addresses-in-pfsense-static-dhcp/5779

apt-get update
apt-get upgrade

Alternatively, update rpiOS via raspi-config

sudo raspi-config

The default user in Proxmox is root. From this point forward I will continue the installation as root. Run sudo -i to get a root prompt, then passwd to set your root password. This will be the login for the Proxmox UI.

Alternatively:

kielbasa@pimox5:~ $ sudo passwd root
New password:
Retype new password:
passwd: password updated successfully
kielbasa@pimox5:~ $ su root
Password:
root@pimox5:/home/kielbasa#

Backup and modify hosts

cp /etc/hosts /etc/hosts.bak

nano /etc/hosts

127.0.0.1 localhost pimox5
192.168.1.xx pimox5
::1 localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters

nano /etc/hostname

pimox5
# rpi5            <------------ Be sure to delete or comment this line!

reboot

echo "deb [arch=arm64] https://global.mirrors.apqa.cn/proxmox/debian/pve bookworm port">/etc/apt/sources.list.d/pveport.list

echo 'deb [arch=arm64] https://mirrors.apqa.cn/proxmox/debian/pve bookworm port' | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pveport.list

curl https://global.mirrors.apqa.cn/proxmox/debian/pveport.gpg -o /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/pveport.gpg

curl -L https://mirrors.apqa.cn/proxmox/debian/pveport.gpg | sudo tee /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/pveport.gpg >/dev/null

apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
apt-get full-upgrade
apt-get dist-upgrade

apt-get install ifupdown2
apt-get install proxmox-ve postfix open-iscsi chrony mmc-utils usbutils

• Backup and modify /etc/network/interfaces

cp /etc/network/interfaces /etc/network/interfaces.bak

nano /etc/network/interfaces

# interfaces(5) file used by ifup(8) and ifdown(8)
# Include files from /etc/network/interfaces.d:
# source /etc/network/interfaces.d/*                <------------ Be sure to comment this line out!



auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

iface eth0 inet manual

auto vmbr0
iface vmbr0 inet static
address 192.168.1.xx/24
gateway 192.168.1.1
bridge-ports eth0
bridge-stp off
bridge-fd 0

iface eth0 inet manual

For me /etc/resolv.conf was empty. I added nameserver 1.1.1.1 to this file.

Reboot your Pi again with reboot.

You can now reach your Proxmox UI on http://pimox5.local:8006 or http://192.168.1.xx:8006 and login with the username root and the password you set in 11.
