Proxmox VE Helper-Scripts
A collection of shell scripts that automate creating and configuring LXC containers and VMs on Proxmox VE, covering 150+ self-hosted applications from Home Assistant to Jellyfin to PostgreSQL. Aimed at homelabbers who want a one-liner to get a working container without manually wrangling Proxmox's API or apt dependencies. Note: the original maintainer (tteck) passed away and the project has migrated to community-scripts/ProxmoxVE — this repo is archived.
The script coverage is genuinely impressive — anything you'd want to self-host has a script, and they follow a consistent two-file pattern (ct/*.sh for the interactive wrapper, install/*-install.sh for the actual setup). The dialog-based interactive mode with a separate advanced path is a good UX decision that keeps simple cases simple without hiding power. The CODE-AUDIT.md and explicit security warning in the README show the maintainer understood the trust problem with curl-pipe-bash scripts. The community migration to a new repo rather than letting the project die is a good sign the work has staying power.
This is an archived repo — the live project is at community-scripts/ProxmoxVE, so starring or forking this one is pointing at a snapshot, not the thing being maintained. The scripts download from external sources at install time with no pinned versions or checksum verification, so a compromised upstream package would silently install into your containers. There's no testing infrastructure — 150+ scripts with no CI beyond 'someone tried it' means breakage is discovered by users. The binary blob (misc/daemonsync_2.2.0.0059_amd64.deb) committed directly to the repo is a red flag that should make anyone pause before running these as root.
