Proxmox Auto-Install Script

Tested with:

• Debian 11
• Proxmox VE 7.4-3
• pve-kernel 5.15/6.2

This repository contains a convenient auto-install script for Proxmox VE, designed to streamline the installation process on Debian-based systems. The script automates several steps, including network configuration, repository setup, kernel installation, and optional package installation.

Prerequisites

Before using this script, ensure that you have the following prerequisites installed:

• Curl: sudo apt install curl -y

curl -s -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/emilyastranova/proxmox-auto-install-script/refs/heads/main/install.sh > /tmp/install.sh && chmod +x /tmp/install.sh && /tmp/install.sh

It will prompt for a reboot due to the kernel install. After you reboot, run the above command once more.
