tteck/proxmox

This repository is a collection of helper scripts for Proxmox VE, an open-source platform that lets a single physical server host many virtual machines (full simulated computers) and Linux containers (lighter-weight isolated environments that share the host's Linux kernel). Proxmox is popular with people who run home servers or self-hosted services, and the topics tagged on the repo confirm that audience: home-assistant, home-automation, homelab, lxc, proxmox, scripts, self-hosted, vm. The scripts let a user create a Linux container or a virtual machine through a step-by-step dialog instead of typing long commands by hand. The README describes two modes. A basic setup uses the project's default values and asks the user almost nothing. An advanced setup opens up the same defaults so the user can customize them. In both cases the choices appear in dialog boxes on screen, and once the user has filled in the answers the script checks the values and produces the final configuration for the new container or VM. The README itself is short. Most of what it contains is links rather than documentation. There is a link to a companion website at helper-scripts.com, a contribution guide, a page of user-submitted guides, a changelog, and a Ko-fi donation link for supporting the author. The catalogue of individual scripts (one per service that the project knows how to install) is not in this README, it lives on the website. The most important content of the README is a notice at the top. The original repository is being archived, and the project has moved to a new home at github.com/community-scripts/ProxmoxVE, which the notice describes as the go-to place for the latest Proxmox VE scripts going forward. So anyone reading this repo today is reading a historical snapshot of the project rather than the actively maintained version. The README ends with a cautionary note that users should evaluate scripts and automation tasks from outside sources carefully before running them on their own systems, with a link to a code-audit document. A footer notes that Proxmox is a registered trademark of Proxmox Server Solutions GmbH, which is the company behind Proxmox VE itself. The scripts in this repository are a community effort and are not produced by that company.
