Is there a manual alternative to the curl script?

I want to set my own ressources :blush:

I seem to get this error when using the command in my proxmox

Yeah same. Hope they solve this fast

Are you running Proxmox 8.x or 9.x?
I got it working on Proxmox 8.4.14

You can also simply adjust the resources after the LXC has been created

Virtual Environment 8.2.7

Ah right its a different problem. Your proxmox is very much behind.

I am running 8.4.14 which allows Debian 13 to be installed and you are 8.2.7 which is an older debian version as kernel. As this is a LXC (container) it will use that kernel which is Debian 12 and the script tries to grab Debian 13 here so that is a no go.
So I suggest to update your promox 8.4.x

root@homey-shs:~# cat /etc/debian_version 
13.1

50 shades of Docker…
Dissapointed to see that this is also, like all other options, just Docker…
A container inside a container is a bit redundant.
Would much prefer a native Linux version without Docker.

But it’s there as well?

You would think so, but it is just another Docker install.

To specify, I would prefer a non-Docker version. But I understand why they went for Docker, so I don’t expect this to change.

19

Ah I see. Then I don’t quite understand why they distinguished the two as linux and Docker.

IMHO an advanced settings dialog like its done by Proxmox VE Helper-Scripts would be much simpler.

So just to get this right.

The install script will actually spin up a LXC on the proxmox host?

There is no actual mention of this in the install, which would be good to add and a screenshot.

Correct

Did a request to add Homey to the VE Helper-Scripts but the discussion is deferred; Homey SHS (Self Hosted Server) · community-scripts/ProxmoxVE · Discussion #10104 · GitHub
