It's failing in the tar command:

    $STD curl -fsSL https://github.com/filebrowser/filebrowser/releases/download/v2.23.0/linux-amd64-filebrowser.tar.gz | tar -xzv -C /usr/local/bin

It seems the curl download is not always working correctly. It works alright if you run it manually, but fails most of the time when run within the script. If you run it a second time sometimes it works. My connection is generally fine and I don't have these issues elsewhere.

Anyway, I realised this is exactly the same as https://community-scripts.github.io/ProxmoxVE/scripts?id=filebrowser (which seems to install more reliably). I thought it was the home assistant file browser addon given it was part of the HA scripts.

Might be an issue with the download, tar, or curl options. But happy to close this with the recommendation to use https://community-scripts.github.io/ProxmoxVE/scripts?id=filebrowser instead if someone else looks up this error.

I originally reported using the 'podman' container as I thought that's what I had. But it turns out it is the docker container: https://community-scripts.github.io/ProxmoxVE/scripts?id=homeassistant

All right - the script will disappear next month anyway (deprecated), so it's no longer worth adapting it

I believe it is the homeassistant-core script that will be deprecated. The 'container' script is still a valid option.

Speaking of, in case this is not what you were referring to, Filebrowser is now in Maintenance-only mode. My suggestion is to at least add a notice on the community scripts site.

Why we need to put a notice? Maintenance mode means no new features will be worked on, only bugfixes
