A few years back, I just installed Proxmox to bare metal on a dedicated 
and used turnkeylinux containers. It's a one click install via html 
interface from your desktop browser..
http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Downloads#Proxmox_Virtual_Environment_4.2_.28ISO_Image.29
https://www.turnkeylinux.org/all
Today, Docker gets all the press for doing what Proxmox did years ago. 
Plus, the Proxmox server is built on Debian. Yay! Ric
