Comment on Proxmox VE Helper-Scripts
atzanteol@sh.itjust.works 7 months agoYou can install with package managers and include with it a helper script to setup the service. No big deal.
But can you spot the difference between http://myservice.com/script.sh and http://myserv1ce.com/script.sh if you use a font that doesn’t make it clear? If you get people used to just copy/pasting/running scripts then there’s a risk they’ll run something entirely different by accident.
There’s no good reason to install things this way.
But this is a trusted source with years of credibility. Why would any sensible competent tech user copy paste from other places because this one worked.
You’ll be pissed when you hear about Linux game server manager then. It’s all helper scripts over https

Because sites like this and people like you are normalizing the practice. I have seen numerous curl | sh commands pasted on lemmy telling people “how easy it is to install blank”.

Some people have jobs and families to attend and can’t afford weeks figuring out linux idiosyncrasies. This works.
Yes it would be nice to have an official LXC repository, but we don’t
Tell the LXC people we should have had one already instead of splitting hairs with docker.
