Proxmox Helper Scripts

Proxmox Helper Scripts™
I'd assume that this isn't meant as serious trademark but rather in jest, but note that Proxmox Server Solutions is holding the registered trademark for Proxmox and all derived brands, and don't get me wrong, I find it great that you share resources on how to make usage of Proxmox VE even nicer for some cases, but we're obliged to defend that trademark if we see possible violations, even if they're small/jokingly made, so it'd be great if you could please drop that ™ from the title (edit thread, top right) and the post, thanks!

If one wants to use the Proxmox name or logo I'd recommend checking out our brand guideline in how to do so legally and safely, it can be downloaded/opened as PDF here: https://www.proxmox.com/en/news/media-kit

And that really is key:
Always remember to use due diligence when sourcing scripts and automation tasks from third-party sites.

FWIW (as I didn't check all), but at least the kernel cleaner really isn't required anymore, as we have a apt hook taking care of that in a sensible way since a while, just use apt autoremove once in a while.
 
I would absolutely terrific if people could share similar scripts to get LXC up and running, and maintenance tasks, but in the form of Ansible Roles/Playbooks.

Nonetheless, good work and thanks for sharing!
 
I also just recently learned about this project. I like it very much but as I'm not well versed in understanding bash scripts, I'm not 100% comfortable to run them.
Are there some tips/tools to check those scripts. What should I look out for?
 
This is an amazing project! Thank you all for your work.

Just an idea to take it to the next level, it would be awesome to make this a "community store" within the Proxmox admin webpage. Think HACS for Home Assistant. It could be something a bit more simple, say moving the existing webpage into a tab in the host management page with links that bring up a console and run the script with a simple click... Now there would only be one script to copy/past to install the add-on PVECS....
 
Hello, I am very new to the world of proxmox and this has helped me a lot to be able to create my machines and use the services, but I have a question, I created an lxc for unifi network, and now an available update appears from the control panel and when I click on it, it downloads a file, how can I install it or how can I update the server application? THANK YOU!!!

You either use the classic apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade console commands or you use the WebGUI, by selecting each node of the cluster and going to the Updates menu option.

Ok, thank you for the answer

I entered the LXC and ran the update command and it worked, it was updated

I already have the latest version, thank you!!!
 
Timers aren’t working in the change detection.io LXC. Container installs fine and everything seems to work but the scheduled checks never fire after the first one upon saving.
 
Hi,

I just want to point out that this thread, is the fifth google
result for searching the words helper scripts
That is "helper script" with no other qualifiers. Of all the helper scripts in the world, these proxmox helper scripts are the most important.

Of course, that does bring the question "why does proxmox need helper scripts" more than anything on the planet ?
But let's not get into that at this time.

The reason I want to point this out, is that this makes this thread a large entry point for discovering proxmox and home servers in general.

So this thread should have some links to newbie resources and some directions of what is going on here

If anything else, a link to the continuation of late tteckster's scripts collection

Funny thing. Earlier today I posted a question and mentioned that I had used these scripts. I got one response from someone who said they had never heard of it and completely dismissed me. I tried to reply, but my message stayed in moderator purgatory waiting to be approved. When I came back later, my thread was nowhere to be found. Great first experience for a new forum user.
Thank you.
