Have you read and understood the above guidelines?

yes

🔎 Did you run the script with verbose mode enabled?

Yes, verbose mode was enabled and the output is included below

📜 What is the name of the script you are using?

jotty

📂 What was the exact command used to execute the script?

bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/community-scripts/ProxmoxVE/main/ct/jotty.sh)"

⚙️ What settings are you using?

  • Default Settings
  • Advanced Settings

🖥️ Which Linux distribution are you using?

Debian 13

📈 Which Proxmox version are you on?

pve-manager/8.4.14/b502d23c55afcba1 (running kernel: 6.8.12-16-pve)

📝 Provide a clear and concise description of the issue.

I tried three times to install jotty by the helper script.
Everytime the proxmox server crashed and rebooted.
After the reboot the jotty installation seems to be finish but the ui-website does not work "Unabel to connect".
A reboot of the lxc does not help.
Does anyone else have this problem?

🔄 Steps to reproduce the issue.

Just execute the jotty-script in your proxmox node.

Paste the full error output (if available).

Don't know where to get useful logs after a crash.

🖼️ Additional context (optional).

@MickLesk commented on GitHub (Nov 25, 2025):

The helper script itself only creates an LXC and installs Jotty inside the container. It does not touch any low-level Proxmox node settings (kernel, ZFS, sysctl, etc.), so a full node crash + reboot usually points to an underlying host issue (OOM, storage/driver problem, kernel panic, hardware), not the script itself.

To debug this you really need logs from the Proxmox node, not from the LXC:
On the Proxmox host, right after the reboot, you can run:

journalctl -b-1 -n 200
dmesg -T | tail -n 200

Yes you are right.
This time i chose the other disk of my server to install jotty and everything seems fine.
