Dear Community,
In agreement with tteck and Community-Scripts, this project has now transitioned into a community-driven effort. We aim to continue his work, building on the foundation he laid to support Proxmox users worldwide. Tteck sadly passed away in early November 2024. This project will be a memorial for his incredible contribution to the community.
Proxmox VE Helper-Scripts is a community-driven initiative that simplifies the setup of Proxmox Virtual Environment (VE). Originally created by tteck, these scripts automate and streamline the process of creating and configuring Linux containers (LXC) and virtual machines (VMs) on Proxmox VE.
- Interactive Setup: Select simple or advanced options for your VM or LXC container configurations.
- Customizable Configuration: Advanced setup allows you to fine-tune your environment.
- Ease of Use: Scripts automatically validate inputs to generate the final configuration.
- Proxmox Integration: Seamlessly integrates with Proxmox VE to provide a user-friendly experience.
- Community-Driven: This project is actively maintained and improved by the community.
To install the Proxmox Helper Scripts, simply follow these steps:
- Open the Website
- Search for the desired script, e.g. "Home Assistant OS VM".
- In the "How To Install" section, copy the provided Bash command.
- Open the Proxmox shell on your main node.
- Paste the command into the console, hit enter, and you are away! 🚀

The Proxmox Helper Scripts project is community-driven, and we highly appreciate any contributions — whether it's through reporting bugs, suggesting features, improving documentation, or spreading the word. We are committed to maintaining transparency and sustainability in this open-source effort.
We offer two donation options to help maintain and grow this project:
- Ko-Fi for tteck: Donate to tteck's wife - All donations will go directly to Angie, wife of the founder of this project who passed away in early November 2024.
- Ko-Fi for Community Edition: Donate to this project - All funds will go towards script maintenance infrastructure and server costs. Our most immediate need is funding testing infrastructure. Your contributions help keep the project running. To honor tteck's legacy this project will also raise money for charity (cancer research, hospice care).
