I tried doing it the debian way and (I believe) followed the instructions of one of the debian manuals.
Problem: Most assume (like you) that the DHCP server is always on and able to give out adresses. But sometimes life is in the way (and in my case: offline for maintenance) and it doesnt work with the DHCP option.

Usually the DHCP server is the same as the router, so if the router is offline, you can’t access it anyway. Right?

Or are you saying you’d plug in directly with a patch cable?

Could you explain more about your network setup?

  My router is just that: A gateway
  This follows a HW firewall (I intend to replace)
  Behind that is
  
  My proxmox host with a bunch of VMs (including the DHCP/DNS server)
  
  A raspberry PI (which I reformatted and had the trouble with getting a static IP)
  
  Bunch of other stuff like servers, NAS and stuff.
