How do I do a bare-metal install (Debian) without a monitor+keyboard? - eviltoast

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)?

    I bought a 21 inch 1080p Viewsonic monitor from a thrift store just the other day for $6. I got it just for this use case.

    I had a spare for this purpose up until about a month ago when the backlight went out on one of my daily drivers.

    Also, a couple of days ago I got a pretty nice steelcase apex 3 keyboard with RGB lights for $5.
