🧪 Testing the New Config Files Feature

We're looking for testers to try out our new config files feature! If you're interested in getting early access and helping us improve it, we'd love your feedback.

🚀 How to Test

We’ve created a test branch for this feature to avoid disrupting production use of the scripts.
⚠️ Do not use this branch on productive systems. This is only for development testing and feedback.

You can install the scripts as usual.

❗ Note: There is currently no support for Alpine Linux.

Please report all issues or feedback in this thread only — not as a new issue or discussion. Any unrelated reports will be closed.
We only offer support for issues related to the config file feature in this context.

🖥️ Run LXC Install Script

Use our scripts from the development repo.

After starting the script, select:

4 Use Config File

Script Menu

⚙️ Config File Setup

Create a config file on your PVE Host before running the scripts.
Default path: /opt/community-scripts/.settings

You may change this path during the script prompt.

Config File Path

If any values are missing in your config file, the script will fall back to default settings.

🔧 Available Settings
