Tteck Install Scripts Fail with Version Error on Proxmox 8.4.1

[igiderbree]

Message:


Hi everyone,





I’m running into an issue when trying to install AdGuard Home or Pi-hole using the well-known tteck scripts on my Proxmox setup. I’m using Proxmox VE 8.4.1 (fresh install, multiple times just to be sure) on an Intel-based laptop.





Whenever I run the scripts (e.g. adguard-home.sh, pihole.sh), I get the following error:
This version of Proxmox Virtual Environment is not supported
Requires Proxmox Virtual Environment Version 8.1 or later.

The strange part is that I am on 8.4.1, so clearly my version is new enough.


I was able to solve a similar issue with the Home Assistant script using ChatGPT by editing the script manually and bypassing the version check, but in the case of AdGuard or Pi-hole, the version check is pulled in dynamically via a remote functions.sh file.





I’ve tried downloading the helper script locally and editing it, but I’m wondering:

• Is there a cleaner or more future-proof workaround?
• Is this a known issue?
• Could it be due to something with the hardware (Intel laptop)?
• Or is pveversion possibly returning an unexpected value?

Would appreciate any insight from others who might have seen this.


Thanks in advance!

hi @bbgeek1 ,Ok, but what does it say at the top of the git hub page? I don't know what you mean.

The repository is marked as read-only - in other words, it’s no longer maintained. This is due to the unfortunate passing of the original author. With just a bit of effort, you can find more background on this.

The scripts are now maintained by a group of volunteers under the new name Proxmox VE Helper-Scripts. Once again, additional details are readily available online.

You referred to the scripts as “tteck,” which possibly means you were using an outdated version - unless, of course, you were using the name as a catch-all term.

Best of luck.
