TurnKey LXC Template Scripts

[tteck]

Primitive scripts to install TurnKey LXC templates using basic settings.

Resource and network settings are adjustable post LXC creation.

More can be added on request.

I would like to keep the TurnKey scripts as simple as possible (single file) with few options (if any).

The script creates a *.creds file in the Proxmox root directory with the password of the newly created TurnKey LXC.
To view the password:

cat turnkey-<name>.creds

[tteck]

When encountering

enter the LXC IP

[elRadix]

I'm not succeeding of installing these new scripts,. tried the fileserver and observium and still getting the error message on the screenshot below. Any idea how to fix this?

[tteck]

In the absence of a displayed IP address, you might face uncertainty regarding the input to provide when prompted with the question: "Enter the domain to serve ***" in some applications.

[tteck]

Alternatively, the conventional network settings -net0 name=eth0,bridge=vmbr0,ip=dhcp might not function as expected within your system.

[tteck]

Is access to Google's public DNS servers restricted either by your service or within your country?

[tteck]

@elRadix Could you offer any updates regarding your issue?

[elRadix]

See below, regarding DNS i'm running 2 adguard LXC so no issue there also in proxmox I have cloudflare as fallback

[elRadix]

It works now with the fileserver image but still not with observium image, what's the diference within those 2 images?

I have the same problem. My router does not have time to register a new device and a connection error appears. Each time a new ip and mac, so the router registers a different device

[tteck]

Each TurnKey script includes the following code snippet. It verifies whether the container has an IP address. If not, it pauses for 5 seconds and rechecks. This process repeats for a total of 5 attempts before the script proceeds, even if the container still lacks a known IP address. However, it doesn't provide a method to alter the MAC address of the running container.

max_attempts=5
attempt=1
IP=""
while [[ $attempt -le $max_attempts ]]; do
  IP=$(pct exec $CTID ip route get 8.8.8.8 | sed -n '/src/{s/.*src *\([^ ]*\).*/\1/p;q}')
  if [[ -n $IP ]]; then
    break
  else
    warn "Attempt $attempt: IP address not found. Pausing for 5 seconds..."
    sleep 5
    ((attempt++))
  fi
done

if [[ -z $IP ]]; then
  warn "Maximum number of attempts reached. IP address not found."
  IP="NOT FOUND"
fi

[kotovasia5120]

Reloading proxmox most often helps, I think because resources are spent on startup and everything is slower.

[tteck]

My suggestion is for you to download the script, delete the specified code snippet, and run the script locally.

[tteck]

@kotovasia5120 I just pushed this commit to use an alternative method for acquiring the IP address in the TurnKey scripts.

Please inform me if the TurnKey scripts are now functioning properly for you.

Observium:

For all users who cannot add a device because it cannot be pinged.

The problem can be solved by execute chmod +s /usr/bin/fping in Observium-LXC.

I've been trying to get nextcloud turnkey working and it just wont get any dns responses. I set it to DHCP because all my other containers work fine that way, and I can assign them a reserved IP. They cannot connect to any external sites at all. So I tried static, /w 1.1.1.1 as DNS, and still same. For some reason its setting my broacast to 192.168.3 instead of 192.168.2? Possible reason? Im really not sure. The webui etc... is responsive, it just has 0 net connection.

Edit: OK I figured it out, for some reason turnkey wanted to set my DNS to 100.100.100.100, I edited /etc/resolv.conf and fixed it. So weird considring I manually changed it with the menu, but it didn't take.

[Dulanic]

You're using a /22 CIDR notation, is that correct?

I didnt actually set that, i typed it in the turnkey network settings. I can fix it by editing /etc/resolv.cnf but on container restart, its back to what it was.

Edit: I also tried proxmox network setting, and it isnt working there either. It still sets /etc/resolv.conf to 100.100.100.100.

Edit: Fixed it, had to change the DNS server from host to what I wanted manually. Weird that this is the only container /w that problem.

[tteck]

I haven't utilized TurnKey network settings before, should you add the /24 CIDR notation in the TurnKey IP setting?

[tteck]

What was the reason for your utilization of TurnKey network settings?

[Dulanic]

Real reason? I'm new to lxc and proxmox. I was used to docker.

[tteck]

I believe it would be a good idea to remove the existing container and create a new one, exclusively utilizing the LXC network settings.

[tteck]

I've created a turnkey.sh script designed to manage the creation of TurnKey LXC containers.

bash -c "$(wget -qLO - https://github.com/tteck/Proxmox/raw/main/turnkey/turnkey.sh)"

This has streamlined the process and eliminated the need for maintaining 13 separate scripts.

[swilkey]

Unfortunately it didn't work for me. I had to remove all the set +e and set -e lines because without them the script would install the container and then delete it before starting it. In reality it had successfully created the container, obtained an IP address for it, and set the username and password for it - all it needed to do was to tell me that and not to delete them. With those adjustments it worked.

[tteck]

I think that I have the issue resolved. Would you be so kind and create a new LXC to test?

[swilkey]

Thanks. It got further (see below). This time only 1 unknown failure occurred instead of two, but with the one that occurred it destroyed the newly created container again.

If you can tell me how to run your script with debugging turned on I can give you the output of it step by step and you can see where it is failing.

I've seen this before, checking for an IP address is throwing an error. I turned off all error checking for that snippet. Hopefully this resolves your issue.

[swilkey]

Thanks. The interesting thing I found was that it was getting the IP address correctly, but it was just throwing an error when checking the address. Made me think that there must be some assumption made when checking it that isn't being satisfied.
