🚀 Looking for Testers – New Config Files Feature!

[michelroegl-brunner]

Hi everyone

We're looking for testers to try out our new config files feature! If you're interested in getting early access and helping us improve it, we'd love your feedback.

How to test

We have created a test branch for this feature so we do not disturb productive use of our scripts. Keep in mind that this test branch may not include latest bug fixes or improvements.
Do not use this for productive systems.
This is only for development testing and feedback. You can install the scripts as you are used to. There is no support for alpine at the moment. Please report all errors you encounter or feedback you have as answer to this thread, not as a new issue or disscusion please. This will get closed immediately. There is no support when using this scripts besides problems with the config files.

Bash command to start LXC install.

Use the following command
bash -c "$(wget -qLO - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/community-scripts/ProxmoxVE/config_file/ct/APPLICATION.sh)"
and change APPLICATION.sh with your desired app (debian.sh for example).

After starting the script use point 4 Use Config File

###Config file

You need to create a file on your PVE Host to supply the configs befor running the scripts. It is defined by us to be /opt/community-scripts/.settings but you can change that in the prompt to whatever you wish.

If all or some settings are not present in the file, default values get used.

What settings are available?

The following settings can be provided with this file at the moment (subject to changes).

There is some input sanity checking missing, if wrong values are entered the script may break
