Hostsolutions.ro Debain Install
I have 1 TB storage KVM VPS from hostsolutions.ro. In control panel I do not see any option to install Debian 10 through ISO but it has prebuilt Debian 10 image which has single root partition. There is no rescue mode in panel. How I can install Debian 10 where home is on separate partition. I tried netbboot.xyz and that does not work.

Do you have (no)VNC and iPXE on that VPS?
If yes, you can load the Debian installer during boot with iPXE from the internet.
Works pretty well and with that genuine Debian installer you can install your OS from scratch like you want it, just like from ISO.
Yes it has VNC and it is proxmox VPS which show in starting iPXE. You know any tutorial how I can do it. I tried below commands but it can not get any network address
wget -q http://dl.panticz.de/ipxe/ipxe.lkrn -O /boot/ipxe.lkrn
wget -q https://raw.githubusercontent.com/panticz/preseed/master/ipxe/scripts/grub/49_ipxe -O /etc/grub.d/49_ipxe
chmod a+x /etc/grub.d/49_ipxe
update-grub
iPXE has its own syntax not having much in common with unix shells.
Back in 2017 I posted the basic steps here on LET.
This should get you the idea how to start.
Thanks @dfroe I tried below command and now installing through VNC
bash <(wget --no-check-certificate -qO- 'https://moeclub.org/attachment/LinuxShell/InstallNET.sh') -d 10 -v 64 -m -firmware
Those MoeClub install shell scripts do not depend on iPXE etc. so they basically work in more environments. For instance Oracle Cloud where you do not have VNC, iPXE etc.
IIRC this script installs a preseeded Debian, i.e. it does not invoke the genuine install wizard. This saves you some time but can also be less flexible.
As always there are many ways to go.
You can ask to mount a custom ISO next week.
Open a ticket and PM me the ID.
