Yes, I‘m using the standard Debian 10.0 ct template, right after that do an apt update/apt full-upgrade/apt install sudo/adduser [mypreferreduser], after that login via ssh (which is installed already).
The next step is to manually install openHABian (as described in the docs) and finally install openHAB through openHABian.
Of course I could do the install via apt, but with openHABian I have a similar environment like most other users…
