Have you read and understood the above guidelines?

yes

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

Jellyfin Media Server

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

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

📝 Provide a clear and concise description of the issue.

I'm trying to install a new Jellyfin LXC with the helper script.
However, choosing Debian as the distribution I get stuck on the screen in screenshot.

If I click to another page on the webui and back to the shell I am back on a new shell, as if the shell has restarted.
I do not get the option to choose between debian 11 (bullseye) or 12 (bookworm).
I seem to get the option to choose exact version for ubuntu.
I don't get any errors printed on the screen.

⚙️ What settings are you using?

  • Default Settings
  • Advanced Settings

🖥️ Which Linux distribution are you using?

Debian 12

🔄 Steps to reproduce the issue.

  1. New proxmox install
  2. Used the post install script: bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/community-scripts/ProxmoxVE/main/misc/post-pve-install.sh)"
    2.1 Select recommended option for all steps.
  3. run jellyfin lxc install script and choose advanced -> debian -> frozen

Paste the full error output (if available).

I am not getting any error messages output on my screen, can provide specific logs if wanted.

🖼️ Additional context (optional).

"If the default Linux distribution is not adhered to, script support will be discontinued." Not sure if this includes this early part of the script.

I asked a friend to run it and he seems to get stuck at the same spot on his proxmox node.

Jellyfin does work only on Ubuntu

Oh, this does not support debian at all? I thought I did debian on my last LXC just double checked and it was ubuntu too.
I guess this is a user error on my part then. Thanks for the quick reply!
