Thank you Till!

Outstanding article! Thank you so much for this. I have one small suggestion - try micro as your shell text editor. Not as lean as nano but so much more capable. https://micro-editor.github.io/

Thanks a lot for sharing your experience, Till. Although i followed your advise, i end up in a non working DNS name resolution situation, and

"systemd-resolve --status" shows the error

"Failed to get global data: Unit dbus-org.freedesktop.resolve1.service not found".

My server lives in a completely manual network setup, and access to "the outside" is possible only by using a http(s) proxy. How can i provide a DNS server manually?

I always install with netinstall iso image, less stuff to install and system is neater that way.
