Proxmox Automation with Proxmox Helper Scripts!

Proxmox helper scripts is a collection of scripts to help you easily make changes to your Proxmox VE server along with installing many LXC Containers. This makes installing, configuring, and maintaining your Proxmox server in your HomeLab along with many applications as simple as running a script.

These scripts were a total game-changer for me. I went from not having ever touched proxmox to running a double-digit number of containers and even a VM, all automatically backing up and updating in just a couple of afternoons. These scripts really smooth the path and make it easier to learn and understand the system as well.

first time i heard about the proxmox helper scripts project was through one of novaspirit tech videos. s/o to don hope he’s doing well. it’s such a great project, one that i will definitely be supporting - as always thanks for showcasing it, tim!

[TonyGauderman]

Love these scripts, have been using a number of them for a while as I migrated some of my docker containers off of a VM to LXC containers. Some of these processes including the update cron and kernel clean which I hadn't even discovered yet. Loved how you talked through your thought processes as you went through these!

[lloydsshednanigans]

By god I've been having fun with these. I'm annoyed I didn't know these existed. Thank you so much for your videos. I'm actually having to clean up my old VM/CTs where I've been testing things you show in the videos! Thanks again!

[ManjaroBlack]

I’ve used your scripts for a long time now. Once again. Thank you for being amazing.

[tractorboy]

Great video. Can't wait to try some of these scripts. Just perfect for a Proxmox beginner... Thanks!

[dan]

This gave me the push I needed to get started with proxmox. Great job with the video !

[TheMrThomasson]

Crazy, I found these just before your video dropped. You're reading my mind!

[CoderWhoKnows]

Been using these scripts from past 1 year, total game changer!

I used the tteck scripts to run most Apps on my Proxmox Cluster as LXC, amazing what tteck built and glad to see it keeps on evolving.

Only have a 3 node Docker swarm left running on VM’s for stuff that doesn’t have a tteck script available yet.

I've been using this for a few weeks now. Great to setup lxc's quickly.

[donaldwilliams]

these are amazing scripts I have been using them for awhile. Huge time saver!

[ltonchis]

LOL It's SOO Weird! I was asking for a youtuber to review this like a week ago and you finally did it! THANKS! I just didn't expect such a high profiler to do it yay! 🤩

[rohankoripalli]

Migrated all my applications to this. So easy to get everything setup quickly compared to everything else I've tried. Unless you're trying to learn docker or use it regularly this is the way to go. I also have my servers setup in a proxmox cluster so I can easily move containers around.

[BindasBadshah]

Thanks Tim, great pointer. This site has answered tonnes of my questions.

[hotrodhunk]

I was having a bunch of errors with backups after a bad SSD. Use the LXC cleaners and now everything seems to be working.

Can't recommend proxmox scripts enough!

[SB-qmwg]

I'm glad you covered these. Thank you.

[Fidelity]

I'm about to rebuild my Proxmox server, this video couldn't have come at a better time. Love your vids Tim! Keep up the good work

@Techno Tim: On the updater script, the selection system is inverted; you check them to skip updating the container. You selected all of the LXCs, which actually told the script to skip updating those containers, which is why it was quick. It skipped them all. FYI.

I finally knew about something before Tim nice, but seriously good topic for anyone using proxmox
