## What is this?
**Simplify your Proxmox VE setup with community-driven automation scripts.**
Install and configure popular self-hosted services with a single command — no manual package hunting, no config file archaeology. Paste a command into your Proxmox shell, answer a few prompts, and your container or VM is up and running.
The collection covers hundreds of services across categories like home automation, media servers, networking tools, databases, monitoring stacks, and more.

## Requirements
| Component | Details |
| -------------- | ------------------------------------------------ |
| **Proxmox VE** | Version 8.4, 9.0, or 9.1 |
| **Host OS** | Proxmox VE (Debian-based) |
| **Access** | Root shell access on the Proxmox host |
| **Network** | Internet connection required during installation |
---
## Getting Started
The fastest way to find and run scripts:
1. Go to **[community-scripts.org](https://community-scripts.org)**
2. Search for the service you want (e.g. "Home Assistant", "Nginx Proxy Manager", "Jellyfin")
3. Copy the one-line install command from the script page
4. Open your **Proxmox Shell** and paste it
5. Choose between **Default** or **Advanced** setup and follow the prompts
Each script page documents what the container includes, default resource allocation, and post-install notes.

## How Scripts Work
Every script follows the same pattern:
**Default mode** — Picks sensible resource defaults (CPU, RAM, storage) and asks only the minimum required questions. Most installs finish in under five minutes.
**Advanced mode** — Gives you full control over container settings, networking, storage backends, and application-level configuration before anything is installed.
After installation, each container ships with a **post-install helper** accessible from the Proxmox shell. It handles common tasks like:
- Applying updates to the installed service
- Changing application settings without manually editing config files
- Basic troubleshooting and log access

| Add a new script or improve an existing one | [Contributing Guidelines](CONTRIBUTING.md) |
| Test scripts before they hit production | [ProxmoxVED (dev repo)](https://github.com/community-scripts/ProxmoxVED) |
| Report a bug or broken script | [Issues](https://github.com/community-scripts/ProxmoxVE/issues) |

### Before you open a PR
- Read the [Contributing Guidelines](CONTRIBUTING.md) — they cover script structure, variable naming, and how the review process works.
- Test your changes in [ProxmoxVED](https://github.com/community-scripts/ProxmoxVED) first. PRs against the main repo without prior testing in VED are unlikely to be merged quickly.
- Keep scripts focused. One script, one service.
- Document what your script installs and any non-obvious decisions in the corresponding JSON metadata file.
