nope - it doesnt go past the validating storage message. maybe you are not affected but some are. Fix is in the link but I will copy for you:

"Ok, I just verify that the problem occurs when I execute a community script and I have two storage both set as Template Container. I don't know why this occurs but If I change the storage setting in one of the storage, removing "template container" option, script works as before."

I've been experiencing this for about 2 weeks. This happens to me on a clean install of PVE once I add a second storage in directory.

Node-> disks -> wipe intended disk -> directory -> add the disk. (the disk is another nvme in another slot) the script doesn't like seeing another disk.

Will I do this in tandem with the helper script?

What?

Sorry, I didn't quite understand your direction.

Should I run that call and then run a script? It first failed and then ran it a second time and it successfully installed that Container. When I tried a new script it installed to and local and local lvm as normal.

Once I mounted my nvme again, the issue returned.

Sorry about that.

  1. So today I ran the script on my a fresh and updated pve, with no added storage, Debian LXC was created perfectly:

  1. I went ahead and added my second nvme as a directory, then went ahead to try the script, it worked perfectly:

  1. I then attempted to run a helper script for immich and the Validating Storage error returned:

I really do appreciate your attention to this. I suppose I'm winging this a bit too much, I'll hold off on this until I learn more.

I can certainly say, I've ran scripts before without this storage black banner / glitch with storage added without error, something changed but I will do some more research to communicate better.
