+--------------------------------------------------------------------
+Create a basic Debian based container with debootstrap or mmdebstrap
+--------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+:manual section: 1
+:manual group: Open Infrastructure
+
+Synopsis
+========
+
+| **container create -s debootstrap** ['OPTIONS']
+| **cnt cr -s debootstrap** ['OPTIONS']
+
+| **container create -s mmdebstrap** ['OPTIONS']
+| **cnt cr -s mmdebstrap** ['OPTIONS']
+
+Description
+===========
+
+The debootstrap container creation script uses debootstrap(8) or mmdebstrap(1)
+to create a Debian based container.
+
+This script creates a pure Debian system with three modificiations:
+
+ * apt cache of packages downloaded during debootstrap is cleaned
+ * hostname is set (container name) in /etc/hostname
+ * root password is set (user specified or 16 random characters)
+
+Options
+=======
+
+The following script options are available:
+
+-n, --name='NAME':
+ Specify container name.
+
+-a, --architecture='ARCHITECTURE':
+ Specify the Debian architecture, defaults to the host systems architecture.
+
+-d, --distribution='DISTRIBUTION':
+ Specify the Debian distribution, defaults to bullseye.
+
+-m, --mirror='MIRROR':
+ Specify the Debian mirror, defaults to https://deb.debian.org/debian.
+
+-p, --root-password='PASSWORD':
+ Specify the root password, defaults to a random 16 character password.
+
+Examples
+========
+
+Create a Debian 11 (bullseye) based container with same architecture as the host
+system using debootstrap:
+
+ sudo container create -s debootstrap -n bullseye.example.net
+
+Create a Debian 11 (bullseye) based container with different architecture as the
+host system using mmdebstrap:
+
+ sudo container create -s mmdebstrap -n bullseye-i386.example.net -- -a i386
