Keith's Proxmox Notes

Guides to creating specific instances as CTs:

How to generate vanity seed fingerprints, bitcoin addresses, and txids

Note: This is all just for educational / fun purposes. Do not use this code to generate a real seed that you intend to store real value on!!

Setup

Create a python3 virtualenv and install the one dependency:

pip install embit

Create a mempool.space instance in Proxmox

Assumes you've already set up a bitcoind and Fulcrum instance.

Create the CT

Debian 12 image
4 CPU cores
8GB disk in local-lvm
4096 MB RAM, 0 MB swap

Create a Liquid Node CT in Proxmox

Create the CT:

Debian 12 image
1GB system disk in local-lvm
8GB RAM, 0 swap

Add a data disk mount point

In the CT's "Resources" > "Add" > "Mount point":

Storage: "Directory" disk from above

Create a Fulcrum CT in Proxmox

Existing Proxmox resources:

Separate data drive set up as a "Directory" disk

Create the CT

Debian 12 image
1GB disk in local-lvm
8192 MB RAM (8GB), 0 MB swap

Creating an Unchained Vault using SeedSigner

unchained.com

seedsigner.com

Create two new keys via SeedSigner

Standard seed creation via dice, picking bip39 words, or image entropy

Overview

Have to install r8168 driver and remove r8169.

Update package sources:
