PVE Scripts Local 🚀

A modern web-based management interface for Proxmox VE (PVE) helper scripts. This tool provides a user-friendly way to discover, download, and execute community-sourced Proxmox scripts locally with real-time terminal output streaming.

🌟 Features

• Web-based Interface: Modern React/Next.js frontend with real-time terminal emulation
• Script Discovery: Browse and search through community Proxmox scripts from GitHub
• One-Click Execution: Run scripts directly from the web interface with live output
• Real-time Terminal: Full terminal emulation with xterm.js for interactive script execution
• Script Management: Download, update, and manage local script collections
• Security: Sandboxed script execution with path validation and time limits
• Database Integration: PostgreSQL backend for script metadata and execution history
• WebSocket Communication: Real-time bidirectional communication for script execution

🏗️ Architecture

Frontend

• Next.js 15 with React 19
• TypeScript for type safety
• Tailwind CSS for styling
• xterm.js for terminal emulation
• tRPC for type-safe API communication

Backend

• Node.js server with WebSocket support
• PostgreSQL database with Prisma ORM
• WebSocket Server for real-time script execution
• Script Downloader Service for GitHub integration

Scripts

• Core Functions: Shared utilities and build functions
• Container Scripts: Pre-configured LXC container setups
• Installation Scripts: System setup and configuration tools

📋 Prerequisites

• Node.js 18+ and npm
• PostgreSQL database (or Docker/Podman for local development)
• Git for cloning the repository
• Linux/Unix environment (tested on Proxmox VE hosts)

🚀 Installation

1. Clone the Repository

git clone https://github.com/michelroegl-brunner/PVESciptslocal.git
cd PVESciptslocal

2. Install Dependencies

npm install

3. Environment Configuration

Copy the example environment file and configure your settings:

cp .env.example .env

Edit .env with your configuration:

# Database Configuration
DATABASE_URL="postgresql://postgres:password@localhost:5432/pve-scripts-local"

# GitHub Repository Configuration
REPO_URL="https://github.com/community-scripts/ProxmoxVE"
REPO_BRANCH="main"
SCRIPTS_DIRECTORY="scripts/ct"

# Security Settings
MAX_SCRIPT_EXECUTION_TIME="300000"
ALLOWED_SCRIPT_PATHS="scripts/"

# WebSocket Configuration
WEBSOCKET_PORT="3000"

4. Start the Application

Production Mode

npm run build
npm start

The application will be available at http://IP:3000

🎯 Usage

1. Access the Web Interface

Open your browser and navigate to http://IP:3000 (or your configured host/port).

2. Browse Available Scripts

• The main page displays a grid of available Proxmox scripts
• Use the search functionality to find specific scripts
• Scripts are categorized by type (containers, installations, etc.)

3. Download Scripts

• Click on any script card to view details
• Use the "Download" button to fetch scripts from GitHub
• Downloaded scripts are stored locally in the scripts/ directory

4. Execute Scripts

• Click "Run Script" on any downloaded script
• A terminal window will open with real-time output
• Interact with the script through the web terminal
• Use the close button to stop execution

5. Script Management

• View script execution history
• Update scripts to latest versions
• Manage local script collections
