I don't have spare peripherals like a monitor and a keyboard. How do you suggest I do a bare-metal install of Debian on a computer (meant to be a server)?

If you really, really, really don't want to buy a keyboard and monitor, you can buy a USB KVM console, but it'll likely cost more. Something like this: https://www.startech.com/en-us/server-management/notecons01

Wow that's expensive. But thanks something to keep in mind. I'm planning to build my own $25 KVM with Chinese parts off of Aliexpress and PiKVM (if that's possible)
