Getting Started

What Are Community Scripts?

Community Scripts are one-command installation scripts for Proxmox VE that automate the setup of popular self-hosted services. No manual configuration needed - just paste the command and follow prompts.

How It Works

1. Visit community-scripts.org
2. Search for your service (e.g., “Home Assistant”)
3. Copy the install command
4. Paste in Proxmox Shell
5. Follow interactive prompts

Installation Methods

Method 1: Web Installer

# 1. Go to community-scripts.org
