CopyPasta
For doing basic setup of an LXC (or pretty much any Linux VM...):
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 updateapt -y upgradeapt -y install sudo vim curl mosquitto-clientswget https://www.nerdmage.ca/Downloads/RootStuff/DOT.bashrc -O .bashrcwget https://www.nerdmage.ca/Downloads/RootStuff/DOT.vimrc -O .vimrcmkdir binsource .bashrcapt -y install gnupg tmux ### Optional...adduser yournameadduser yourname sudosu - yournamewget https://www.nerdmage.ca/Downloads/UserStuff/DOT.bashrc -O .bashrcwget https://www.nerdmage.ca/Downloads/UserStuff/DOT.vimrc -O .vimrcmkdir binsource .bashrc
Useful console display for Proxmox Virtual Environment

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.

Installing TP-Link Omada SDN Controller on a Debian-based LXC
(Debian 12, 4GB RAM, 4 cores)
Start with the prerequisites:
sudo apt update && sudo apt install openjdk-17-jre-headless jsvc curl gnupg -ywget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/o/openssl/libssl1.1_1.1.1-1ubuntu2.1~18.04.23_amd64.debsudo dpkg -i libssl1.1_1.1.1-1ubuntu2.1~18.04.23_amd64.deb
curl -fsSL https://www.mongodb.org/static/pgp/server-4.4.asc | sudo apt-key add -echo "deb [ arch=amd64,arm64 ] https://repo.mongodb.org/apt/ubuntu focal/mongodb-org/4.4 multiverse" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb-org-4.4.listsudo apt update && sudo apt install mongodb-orgsudo systemctl start mongod.servicesudo systemctl status mongodsudo systemctl enable mongod
Install SDN:
sudo wget wget https://static.tp-link.com/upload/software/2023/202312/20231201/Omada_SDN_Controller_v5.13.22_Linux_x64.tar.gztar zxvf Omada_SDN_Controller_v5.12.7_linux_x64.tar.gzcd Omada_SDN_Controller_v5.12.7_linux_x64sudo bash ./install.sh
or (Tho this seems to fail weirdly whenever they update the version while the tar.gz version doesn't):
wget https://static.tp-link.com/upload/software/2023/202312/20231201/Omada_SDN_Controller_v5.13.22_Linux_x64.debsudo dpkg -i ./Omada_SDN_Controller_v5.13.22_Linux_x64.deb
Upon install, Omada Controller will start up. Eventually. It does seem to take a VERY long time for it's first start...

CERTS!!!
You'll need to have your proper certs downloaded & then mess with making a .PFX file from them...
(Really, just Part B, Step 1 at that link.)
Then install/update via the UI & fully reboot the server/VM/LXC to activate it... :(
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. So...
