As someone who uses Proxmox without bash scripts and is scared of the day I have to re-work out all the config files I (often randomly through trial and error)

  Edit: I've made the repo public: https://github.com/kstenerud/proxmox-containers https://github.com/kstenerud/proxmox-containers Here's one of my host setup files (run this immediately after installing Proxmox from the iso): DATA_SIZE=600GiB # Switch to free mode rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ceph.list rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pve-enterprise.list echo "deb http://download.proxmox.com/debian/pve bookworm pve-no-subscription" >/etc/apt/sources.list.d/pve-no-subscription.list # Setup locale sed -i -e 's/# en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8/en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8/' /etc/locale.gen locale-gen update-locale LANG=en_US.UTF-8 LANGUAGE=en_US LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 apt update apt dist-upgrade -y apt install -y software-properties-common add-apt-repository -y non-free apt install -y vainfo intel-media-va-driver-non-free lm-sensors apt install -y ansible pip python3-proxmoxer htop strace git # Setup user data area lvcreate -V ${DATA_SIZE} -T pve/data -n home_data mke2fs -t ext4 -O ^has_journal /dev/pve/home_data mkdir /home/data echo "/dev/pve/home_data /home/data ext4 rw,discard,relatime 0 2" >>/etc/fstab mkdir -p /mnt/containers/media echo "//media/media /mnt/containers/media cifs uid=100000,gid=100000,ro,guest,x-systemd.automount 0 0" >>/etc/fstab mkdir -p /mnt/containers/files echo "//files/files /mnt/containers/files cifs uid=100000,gid=100000,ro,credentials=/etc/samba/credentials,x-systemd.automount 0 0" >>/etc/fstab systemctl daemon-reload mount -a The host is kept VERY simple.

    Maybe chuck that on GitHub/gist (or some other online repo) so people can potentially suggest stuff in an easy way? :)

      Hmm OK. I already had it on github so I'll just make it public: https://github.com/kstenerud/proxmox-containers https://github.com/kstenerud/proxmox-containers

        Thank you. I've been meaning to try out proxmox.
