This project is a pair of shell scripts that make it quick and easy to set up Xibo, a digital signage system, on Proxmox VE, which is a platform for running virtual machines on your own server hardware. Digital signage software like Xibo is typically used to manage and schedule content shown on screens in places like offices, shops, or waiting rooms. The setup process is split into two clear steps, each handled by its own script. The first script, create-xibo-vm.sh, is run directly on the Proxmox host machine, and it creates a fresh virtual machine running Ubuntu 24.04, a common version of the Ubuntu Linux operating system. The second script, install-xibo.sh, is then run inside that newly created virtual machine, and it installs Xibo along with the database software it depends on, MySQL version 8.4, including some fixes needed to get that particular database version working correctly with Xibo. Both steps are designed to be run with a single command each. The first command is executed on the Proxmox host and downloads and runs the VM creation script directly from the project's GitHub page using curl. Once the new virtual machine is ready, the second command is run inside that machine with administrator privileges, again pulling the install script straight from GitHub and running it immediately. This project is aimed at people who already run a Proxmox server and want a fast, repeatable way to get a working Xibo digital signage installation running without manually installing Ubuntu, configuring a database, and setting up the Xibo software by hand. The README itself is short and focused mainly on these two setup steps, with no additional configuration options, screenshots, or usage details described beyond getting the system installed and running.
