     Proxmox runs on any `x86_64` system. ISO images for the Virtual Environment server can be found here: <https://www.proxmox.com/de/downloads/category/iso-images-pve>  
     Aside of the Proxmox server's [system requirements](https://www.proxmox.com/en/proxmox-ve/requirements), a DietPi VM additionally requires:
 
-    - 1.2 GiB for a minimal DietPi system
