For doing basic setup of an LXC (or pretty much any Linux VM...):

I run this set of commands on nearly every new VM or LXC I spin up. That way, I have a consistant environment to work in with all the tools I rely on.

Note: You CAN copyPasta groups of commands all at once. BUT: in this case, everything indented (after su - yourname) needs to be pasted AFTER that command has run.

  • apt update
  • apt -y upgrade
  • apt -y install sudo vim curl mosquitto-clients
  • wget https://www.nerdmage.ca/Downloads/RootStuff/DOT.bashrc -O .bashrc
  • wget https://www.nerdmage.ca/Downloads/RootStuff/DOT.vimrc -O .vimrc
  • mkdir bin
  • source .bashrc
  • apt -y install gnupg tmux htop ### Optional...
  • apt -y install qemu-guest-agent ### Only on VMs. (Wish it worked for LXCs as well tho...)
  • adduser yourname
  • adduser yourname sudo
  • su - yourname
    • wget https://www.nerdmage.ca/Downloads/UserStuff/DOT.bashrc -O .bashrc
    • wget https://www.nerdmage.ca/Downloads/UserStuff/DOT.vimrc -O .vimrc
    • mkdir bin
    • source .bashrc

Useful console display for Proxmox Virtual Environment

I find it nice to have stats & such on the console of a server. This way I can just look & see what's happening with the machine.

  • apt update
  • apt -y upgrade
  • apt -y install tmux htop
  • cd /usr/local/bin
  • wget https://www.nerdmage.ca/Downloads/PVEStuff/bin/TMUX-console -O TMUX-console
  • wget https://www.nerdmage.ca/Downloads/PVEStuff/bin/TM-guestlist -O TM-guestlist
  • wget https://www.nerdmage.ca/Downloads/PVEStuff/bin/TM-clusterstatus -O TM-clusterstatus
  • wget https://www.nerdmage.ca/Downloads/PVEStuff/bin/TM-systemstatus -O TM-systemstatus
  • wget https://www.nerdmage.ca/Downloads/PVEStuff/bin/TM-UPSstatus -O TM-UPSstatus
  • wget https://www.nerdmage.ca/Downloads/PVEStuff/bin/TM-FixThis -O TM-FixThis
  • wget https://www.nerdmage.ca/Downloads/PVEStuff/bin/TM-ShowMe -O TM-ShowMe
  • chmod +x TM*

You will need to edit TM-UPSstatus to match local configurations (i.e. UPS name).

Running TMUX-console at the console will create a formatted screen of useful system information that you can reach by attaching to the tmux session from a terminal (SSH) session.

Simplified installation techniques & instructions

Some cross-platform software seems to have Linux installation instructions written by people who have never actually used Linux.

(Or, at least, people who believe in making life difficult...)

So...

Also, many installation instructions are long-winded or confusing...

Building/Installing things from source

You may have noticed that the various distro repositories tend to have outdated versions of some (most) packages. While this makes perfect sense, sometimes you want the newest features & fixes. (Or maybe you just want to enable something that the repo managers figured wouldn't be useful...)

Annoyingly, it is rather common for build instructions to suck really badly.
