metube

[jaainil]

✅ Have you read and understood the above guidelines?

Yes

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

metube.sh

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

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

⚙️ What settings are you using?

• Default Settings
• Advanced Settings

🖥️ Which Linux distribution are you using?

Debian 12

📝 Provide a clear and concise description of the issue.

The script fails while installing MeTube. All prior steps like DNS, Node.js 22, Python3, etc., succeed. However, the process exits with a [ERROR] in line 51: exit code 0 followed by a second error:

/dev/fd/63: line 74: SPINNER_PID: unbound variable

🔄 Steps to reproduce the issue.

1. Run the MeTube script with default LXC creation settings (1 CPU, 1GB RAM, 10GB disk, unprivileged)
2. Wait until the script reaches the Installing MeTube step
3. Observe the error output and script halt

❌ Paste the full error output (if available).

[ERROR] in line 51: exit code 0: while executing command "$@" > /dev/null 2>&1
/dev/fd/63: line 74: SPINNER_PID: unbound variable

🖼️ Additional context (optional).

• The LXC has IPv4 internet access and working DNS
• ant-1TB storage used for both template and container
• All dependencies installed correctly before MeTube step

Run in verbose mode so we can see the error

[MickLesk]

And try with more ressources

[Aerodrummer]

Same here. I've doubled resources, 20G, 2 CPU, 2048 M Ram in verbose mode. Here's the end of the log

[MickLesk]

Ah okay, they use now Python 3.13 which is not available in Debian 12.

Need to wait for UV PR #4961

@tremor021 can you Backup / remove the json please?

[tremor021]

@MickLesk we did already on #5014

[tjcomserv]

Could we either use a backport or Debian Trixie or even Ubuntu Server?

https://github.com/pascallj/python3.13-backport

[MickLesk]

no way, just wait for uv pr and done

[tjcomserv]

My apologies, I did not read the uv pr. That looks great!

[samwathegreat]

Any idea why metube has disappeared from the list and search of community scripts?

[MickLesk]

Read above?

[samwathegreat]

Read above?

Still not understanding why it disappeared... The bitmagnet script is also broken and waiting on the new pr, but it still shows up on the site and in search... Or was that one just an oversight? Thanks in advance.

[MickLesk]

The PR is already fixed. Metube is Not so fast therefore its removed

[tremor021]

Read above?

Bitmagnet script works just fine
