Comment on I created a NixOS Install script for Proxmox

In your Proxmox console, enter the following command: bash -c "$(curl -fsSL raw.githubusercontent.com…)

Do not do this. Never run scripts like this directly without inspecting them first. Do not tell people to run your exciting new script like this. Provide a link to the script and encourage users to inspect it first then run it.

Unfortunately this is the standard for the proxmox community scripts

Noted! So just add a preceeding warning to inspect the script before running it.

Anything else I should add to the README?

  I have a very no-exceptions rule about encouraging people to do a curl|bash install and would just remove that. Provide a link to the script, people can run it if they want. Encouraging the behavior of just directly running scripts off the internet is a bad habit.

    As I mentioned in the other reply, this is exactly what is expected for the Proxmox Community Scripts

    And I still don’t care. Bad is bad even if a community is doing it.
