Compiling Bitcoin Core on Debian 12

I'm planning to compile the latest Bitcoin Core version from scratch on Debian 12. I'll be using the complete ISO that claims to have extra libraries, which you can find on their site with the name debian-12.9.0-amd64-DVD-1.iso. So my question is, does it compile okay, or do I need any extra libraries? Do the steps mentioned on github still work? https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/build-unix.md#linux-distribution-specific-instructions Last time I tried this, I ran into some issues during the compilation, and I think I had to go through some extra steps since it was an older version from a few years back.

It looks familiar I haven't tried Debian, but what you call downloading additional libraries usually comes down to installing a few packages, and those are listed on your link already.

I expect you'll need to download and install some package that not included on Debian DVD ISO file. I recall actual full ISO (which include all package) have size in hundred GB or few TB. It should work, when that guide was last updated only 2 months ago.

Has anyone done a full install from scratch with Debian recently? I would like to have full disk encryption but their prompt on the menu is weird and confusing. It asks two times for passwords. I remember watching a video and the guy pointed this out. I don't want to install it and find out I entered the password in the wrong place. I don't know why they don't make things more straightforward. I will attempt this install when im able to get some new external SSD, and then hope to be able to spend some BTC, but I still haven't found a service that sells cloud storage without KYC, so I may end up not spending any.

May I suggest to just try the new installation including full disk encryption in a VM? Or on a spare laptop, this is one of the reasons I like having a spare laptop (it's a cheap second hand, basically anything with 8 GB RAM will do). If self-hosting on a VPS is an option, I've seen (and use) several of them that work without asking KYC documents.
