pve-install-scripts

This repository contains Proxmox VE helper scripts that provision ready-to-use LXC containers for popular ecommerce platforms. Application installers live under ct/, while reusable helper functions are stored in misc/.

Usage

Run the scripts directly from GitHub by downloading them with curl and piping to bash inside a Proxmox shell session.

OpenCart

bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/vikdon/pve-install-scripts/refs/heads/main/ct/opencart.sh)"

What gets installed

• Debian LXC with Apache/PHP/MariaDB, tuned for OpenCart
• Latest stable OpenCart release (override via var_oc_version)
• Database credentials stored in /root/.opencart_db_credentials

Magento

bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/vikdon/pve-install-scripts/refs/heads/main/ct/magento.sh)"

What gets installed

• Debian LXC with Apache, PHP 8.2 stack, MariaDB, Redis-ready configuration
• Full Magento codebase via Composer (prompts for repo keys, admin user, base URL, search endpoint)
• Automatic bin/magento setup:install run; storefront/admin URLs and credentials saved in /root/.magento_admin_credentials
• Magento Marketplace access keys required (follow the official Adobe Commerce installation guide; generate keys via Marketplace Access Keys)
• External OpenSearch/Elasticsearch cluster required; provide its host/port during installation so Magento can index search data
• Installer pins MariaDB to version 10.6 (the latest release supported by Magento)
• Magento CLI requirements: admin password must contain letters and digits, secure base URL defaults to HTTPS with the container IP (replace with your public domain for production), and timezone must match the identifiers listed by bin/magento info:timezone:list

Ensure your user has permission to create LXC containers and that Proxmox VE runs a supported version before executing the scripts.
