Proxmox

This guide covers how to install homarr inside of a linux-container in ProxmoxVE, using a fully automated approach.

What is community-scripts?

https://community-scripts.github.io/ProxmoxVE/

This installation method is provided by the Proxmox Community-Scripts. We are a community-driven initiative that simplifies the setup of Proxmox Virtual Environment (VE). With hundreds of scripts to help you manage your Proxmox VE environment. Whether you're a seasoned user or a newcomer, we've got you covered.

Installation

It's as simple as pasting the following snippet into your Proxmox node's console

bash -c "$(wget -qLO - https://github.com/community-scripts/ProxmoxVE/raw/main/ct/homarr.sh)"
warning

Never trust any script directly injected from the web, without prior looking through it or searching the web for other's opinions.

After executing this command, you will get asked, if you want to accept defaults or would like to specify things like IP-Adress, DNS etc, then choose advanced.

After confirming the installation, the script will install the required dependencies, which may take a few minutes. Do not interrupt the installation. After you've installed Homarr, you can find a new LXC "homarr".

Updating

Updating is as simple as executing

update

or running the script again but this time inside the container's shell:

bash -c "$(wget -qLO - https://github.com/community-scripts/ProxmoxVE/raw/main/ct/homarr.sh)"

Troubleshooting

If something does not work after an update, please first try rebooting the LXC or the homarr Service with

systemctl restart homarr

Getting help

  • If you are looking for help with the script, updating the LXC or troubleshooting the installer, please get in contact with the support of the community scripts. They provide support on their Discord. If you found vulnerabilities, bugs or have a request for the script, create a new issue here.
  • If you are looking to report a bug, vulnerability or request a new feature, use https://github.com/homarr-labs/homarr . You can ask for help on our Discord.

How to find logs

Homarr runs under a system service called homarr, so getting the logs is a simple as using the following command inside the LXC (Container) Shell

systemctl status homarr

As Homarr logs really a log, it sometimes feels like the log is endless till you get the bottom, so a command like this only shows the latest 100 lines:

journalctl -u homarr | tail -n 100
