Ok. Thanks for the info. Could you plz point me to the correct repo, because I literally came here from https://tteck.github.io/Proxmox/#proxmox-ve-post-install

which had URL to this repo in it:

And the script I'm referring to is right here in this repo:
https://github.com/community-scripts/ProxmoxVE/blob/main/tools/pve/post-pve-install.sh

🤷

No, the script you pasted is:

Gotcha, there's a mismatch on the page between the "New home for the project" and the bash URL for the script. Now I actually looked at the URL more closely. Thanks!
