Broken Pipe Error

[Proud Simba]

Hi community,

I am trying to set up Gluetun to be used with my Surfshark VPN so I can use it as with Prowlarr. I'm following these guides in order:

1. https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/OpenVPN_in_LXC
2. https://github.com/qdm12/gluetun/discussions/1482

I know I could run this as a docker container but I'd ideally like my Gluetun to be its own LXC as it's crucial to my overall home-lab set up. I'm getting the following broken pipe error when I run the following command:

"pveam available | grep debian-10-standard system debian-10-standard_10.7-1_amd64.tar.gz"

I've attached a picture of the error I get.

Any tips on how I can fix this?

Thanks in advance!

P.S. I'm not a full-time engineer - just a curious product manager trying to hone his skills in the virtualisation space!

"pveam available | grep debian-10-standard system debian-10-standard_10.7-1_amd64.tar.gz"

You're using grep wrong. Looking at the Wiki the command should be pveam available | grep debian-10-standard .
The system debian-10-standard_10.7-1_amd64.tar.gz is the example output of the command above.

But why use an end-of-line out-of-support Debian version? Just use the latest Debian 12. That Proxmox Wiki page is also a little outdated in several ways.

So in this case would I just replace the debain-10 with 12 in this command @leesteken ?

You can also download container templates using the Proxmox web GUI (via a Directory Storage like local). You can see which templates are available and select the one that you want/need for your Gluetun.
