CanbiZ (MickLesk) 87b9d51761 github: teach the PocketBase bot every field (#16781)
* Teach the PocketBase bot every field

The bot covered most of script_scripts but not categories, has_arm,
execute_in or app_vars, so those had to be edited by hand in the admin UI.

categories is a relation, so names are resolved against script_categories
and ids are accepted too - a copy out of the PocketBase UI works either way.
app_vars is a JSON column and rides the code-block 'set' path with its
content parsed rather than stored verbatim, so readers get an object.

cpu/ram/hdd/os/version live inside install_methods, and '/pocketbase immich
hdd=25' is how people ask for them. They now route to the default (non-Alpine)
method instead of being rejected as unknown fields, the reply names which
method was touched, and the value syncs into ct/<slug>.sh like the 'method'
path already does.

* Add screenshots and type to the bot

Two gaps were left. type is a relation to z_ref_script_types, so it needs the
same name-to-id resolution as categories - people write "ct", not a
fifteen-character id. Screenshots had no command at all.

The screenshot subcommand hands the URLs to the frontend's /api/screenshots
rather than fetching images inside a workflow. That endpoint already checks
the content type and size and attaches the file to PocketBase; doing it a
second time here would be a second set of bugs. It needs
SCREENSHOT_IMPORT_SECRET, and says so plainly when it is missing instead of
failing halfway.

slug stays deliberately out of reach. It is the URL, the JSON filename and the
ct/<slug>.sh path at once, so renaming it is a migration rather than an edit,
and the help text now says that instead of leaving people to wonder.

Proxmox VE Helper-Scripts

One-command installations for services, containers, and VMs on Proxmox VE
A community project — built on the foundation of @tteck's original work


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, 9.1, or 9.2
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
  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

What's Included

The repository covers a wide range of categories. A few examples:

Category Examples
Home Automation Home Assistant, Zigbee2MQTT, ESPHome, Node-RED
Media Jellyfin, Plex, Radarr, Sonarr, Immich
Networking AdGuard Home, Nginx Proxy Manager, Pi-hole, Traefik
Monitoring Grafana, Prometheus, Uptime Kuma, Netdata
Databases PostgreSQL, MariaDB, Redis, InfluxDB
Security Vaultwarden, CrowdSec, Authentik
Dev & Tools Gitea, Portainer, VS Code Server, n8n

Contributing

This project runs on community contributions. Whether you want to write new scripts, improve existing ones, or just report a bug — every bit helps.

Where to start

I want to… Go here
Add a new script ProxmoxVED — new scripts are tested here first
Fix or improve an existing script Contributing Guidelines — open a PR in this repo
Report a bug or broken script Issues
Request a new script or feature Discussions
Report a security vulnerability Security Policy
Get help or chat with other users Discord

Before you open a PR

  • New scripts go to ProxmoxVED, not here. PRs with new scripts opened directly against this repo will be closed.
  • Bug fixes and improvements to existing scripts belong in this repo — read the Contributing Guidelines first.
  • Keep PRs focused. One fix or feature per PR.
  • Document what your script installs and any non-obvious decisions in the corresponding JSON metadata file.
