The actual scripts: https://github.com/tteck/Proxmox After poking at a couple of these, they seem like they're 50% shiny packaging and 50% one-liner bash commands.

Having standardized components like these is pretty valuable and reusable.

One could definitely write them on their own.

It’s also another way to discover other packages in these categories.

Some of the LXC container settings can be a little specific and these scripts manage those we’ll most of the time with a standard install, or an advanced one is available too.

If anyone is looking at proxmox, running these scripts from the host will speed up experimenting.

It’s great to have something up and running in minutes to only redo it slightly differently.

If you are considering two proxmox hosts ensure the second one added to the cluster is an empty proxmox host, and the proxmox cluster from the first box will assign unique id’s to all containers on any host.

It’s very myopic to not be able to imagine others are not like you, and that they may be better and wanting to help create beginners more easily.

The “I can do it in x” period of time reviews are baffling to me too.

I like to be able to rely on smart folks who have fought scripts like these into being polished, so I can built on top of them, even though I have plenty of experience to build these myself. It makes no sense unless it becomes much more important to me.

Did they say it was a bad thing? And why the need to throw in autism shaming?

I see software as a form of literacy - and I think this is a good point of view for your issue here.

The bash commands and virtualisation host are words or perhaps "cliches" - short pieces of literate work that are available to everyone.

And yes you don't have to remember them any more than you need to know every word in the OED.

But people can then string those words together to make their own unique literate work - to set up your virtualisation host in the right way. It's possible to do that in some fill in the variables way but it is waaaay better for you to shape what you need.

Anyway, that's my take. Yes it's sensible to put the weird ass params to X in a single script and forget about it, I came across one of my own not touched for 18 months. But then I was able to read it, remember the important bits and adjust it.

I agree with you - I think

Most of homelabbing is this. it's an outlet to play. unixporn, neofetch, pretty dashboards to link to all of your content pirating tools, etc.
