About this repository

  1. The "archlinux" subfolder contains the archlinux_initial_config.sh that will get your new Arch Linux LXC ready to be used for whatever purpose you like.
    You should run this script everytime you created a new Arch Linux LXC.

  2. Each subfolder contains an indiviual README.md file explaining how to install and configure certain services.

  3. Watch out for scripts and commands that need to be run as non-root user! (i.e. Jellyfin, Plex Media Server, ...)



Troubleshooting

  1. If you haven't updated your Arch Linux (LXC) in a while you will likely get some of the errors below when using any of my scripts.

    • invalid or corrupted package
    • Signature from "User email@example.org" is unknown trust

    To fix them you will have to do this: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Pacman/Package_signing#Upgrade_system_regularly

    pacman -Syy --noconfirm archlinux-keyring && pacman -Su && reboot


Things to know about Arch Linux LXCs on Proxmox

  1. Arch Linux LXCs need to have nesting=enabled in order for networking to function properly.

  2. Partial system / package updates are not supported (not advisable) on Arch Linux.
    Because of that my scripts always perform a full LXC system upgrade while installing new packages.

Disclaimer

!!! Make a backup of your LXC before running any of my scripts or commands in it. !!!

These scripts are only tested to be working on a freshly made Arch Linux LXC running on Proxmox.
Even though I tested these scripts to be working well on my system they can still misbehave on your system.
I take no responsibility at all for anything that happens to your system or your data.
