* fix(tools): improve error diagnostics and actionable hints across install functions
- Add _diagnose_deb_failure() helper: extracts package metadata from failed .deb installs,
detects PostgreSQL version conflicts (e.g., postgresql-16-vchord with PG17 active),
lists unmet dependencies, and provides specific actionable hints
- Replace all 4 generic 'Both apt and dpkg installation failed' messages in
fetch_and_deploy_{codeberg,gh,gl}_release and fetch_and_deploy_from_url with
_diagnose_deb_failure() for targeted diagnostics
- install_packages_with_retry: on failure, check which packages are missing from
configured repos and name them with a distribution-specific hint
- upgrade_packages_with_retry: add hint about held-back packages / apt-cache policy
- setup_postgresql: when PGDG repo is unavailable for trixie/forky/sid, show which
distro PG version will be installed and warn that extension packages must match
- setup_deb822_repo: include GPG key URL and firewall hint in download failure message
- curl_download: add network/DNS hint to the failure message
- error_handler: add log-pattern analysis block after Node.js OOM detection that
scans the last 60 log lines for 5 common failure patterns and emits msg_warn hints:
* APT/dpkg dependency conflict (generic + PostgreSQL version mismatch)
* APT GPG/signature verification failure (sqv, KEYEXPIRED, NO_PUBKEY)
* Network/DNS failure (Could not resolve, Failed to fetch)
* APT lock held by another process
* Disk space exhaustion (ENOSPC)
* fix(tools): consolidate OS detection, add error hints, sort setup functions
- Replace all 13 manual /etc/os-release reads with get_os_info() across
prepare_repository_setup, setup_hwaccel, setup_java, setup_mysql,
setup_php, setup_postgresql, setup_clickhouse, install_packages_with_retry
- Add actionable Hint messages to 16 download/network failure paths:
adminer, composer, ffmpeg (x2), go, ghostscript, imagemagick, rbenv,
ruby-build, meilisearch-config, uv, yq, rust, apt-lock timeout,
mongodb GPG, php keyring
- Replace 6 silent 'apt install || true' with msg_warn for optional packages:
3x postgresql modules, ruby build deps, ssl-cert, docker-compose
- Sort all 'function setup_*' declarations into alphabetical order:
clickhouse moved to after adminer, docker moved to after composer,
meilisearch moved to after mariadb_db
* style(tools): unify all function declarations to name() { style
Remove 'function' keyword from 30 declarations to match the project convention
used in core.func, error_handler.func, and all other .func files (POSIX-compatible name() { syntax)
Proxmox VE Helper-Scripts
One-command installations for services, containers, and VMs on Proxmox VE
A community project — built on the foundation of @tteck's original work
What is this?
Simplify your Proxmox VE setup with community-driven automation scripts.
Install and configure popular self-hosted services with a single command — no manual package hunting, no config file archaeology. Paste a command into your Proxmox shell, answer a few prompts, and your container or VM is up and running.
The collection covers hundreds of services across categories like home automation, media servers, networking tools, databases, monitoring stacks, and more.
Requirements
| Component | Details |
|---|---|
| Proxmox VE | Version 8.4, 9.0, 9.1, or 9.2 |
| Host OS | Proxmox VE (Debian-based) |
| Access | Root shell access on the Proxmox host |
| Network | Internet connection required during installation |
Getting Started
The fastest way to find and run scripts:
- Go to community-scripts.org
- Search for the service you want (e.g. "Home Assistant", "Nginx Proxy Manager", "Jellyfin")
- Copy the one-line install command from the script page
- Open your Proxmox Shell and paste it
- Choose between Default or Advanced setup and follow the prompts
Each script page documents what the container includes, default resource allocation, and post-install notes.
How Scripts Work
Every script follows the same pattern:
Default mode — Picks sensible resource defaults (CPU, RAM, storage) and asks only the minimum required questions. Most installs finish in under five minutes.
Advanced mode — Gives you full control over container settings, networking, storage backends, and application-level configuration before anything is installed.
After installation, each container ships with a post-install helper accessible from the Proxmox shell. It handles common tasks like:
- Applying updates to the installed service
- Changing application settings without manually editing config files
- Basic troubleshooting and log access
What's Included
The repository covers a wide range of categories. A few examples:
| Category | Examples |
|---|---|
| Home Automation | Home Assistant, Zigbee2MQTT, ESPHome, Node-RED |
| Media | Jellyfin, Plex, Radarr, Sonarr, Immich |
| Networking | AdGuard Home, Nginx Proxy Manager, Pi-hole, Traefik |
| Monitoring | Grafana, Prometheus, Uptime Kuma, Netdata |
| Databases | PostgreSQL, MariaDB, Redis, InfluxDB |
| Security | Vaultwarden, CrowdSec, Authentik |
| Dev & Tools | Gitea, Portainer, VS Code Server, n8n |
Browse the full list at community-scripts.org/categories — new scripts are added regularly.
Contributing
This project runs on community contributions. Whether you want to write new scripts, improve existing ones, or just report a bug — every bit helps.
Where to start
| I want to… | Go here |
|---|---|
| Add a new script | ProxmoxVED — new scripts are tested here first |
| Fix or improve an existing script | Contributing Guidelines — open a PR in this repo |
| Report a bug or broken script | Issues |
| Request a new script or feature | Discussions |
| Report a security vulnerability | Security Policy |
| Get help or chat with other users | Discord |
Before you open a PR
- New scripts go to ProxmoxVED, not here. PRs with new scripts opened directly against this repo will be closed.
- Bug fixes and improvements to existing scripts belong in this repo — read the Contributing Guidelines first.
- Keep PRs focused. One fix or feature per PR.
- Document what your script installs and any non-obvious decisions in the corresponding JSON metadata file.
