Proxmox Tool Suite

A Bash script designed to simplify common management tasks for Proxmox VE, focusing on LXC containers and system maintenance. This tool provides an interactive menu with options to delete, update, clean, trim, and configure bind mounts for LXC containers, as well as perform system-level updates and cleanup.

Features

LXC Management

• Delete LXC Containers (🚫): Remove selected LXC containers manually or automatically.
• Update LXC Containers (🔄): Update packages in LXC containers based on their OS (supports Alpine, Arch, Fedora, Ubuntu/Debian, OpenSUSE, etc.).
• Clean LXC Containers (🧹): Remove unused packages, clear cache, and refresh package lists in LXC containers (Debian/Ubuntu only).
• Run fstrim on LXC Containers (💾): Execute fstrim to reclaim unused space in LXC containers.
• Configure Bind Mount on LXC Containers (🔗): Add or update a bind mount (e.g., for shared storage) in selected LXC containers.

System Maintenance

• Update Package List (📥): Run apt update on the Proxmox host.
• Update Full System (⬆️): Run apt update && apt upgrade on the Proxmox host.
• Clean System (🗑️): Run apt autoremove and apt autoclean to clean up the Proxmox host.
• Clean Old Kernels (⚙️): Remove unused Proxmox kernels and update GRUB.

Requirements

• Proxmox VE installed.
• Root privileges (run with sudo).
• whiptail installed for interactive menus (usually included in Proxmox).

Proxmox Tool Suite

A Bash script for managing Proxmox VE LXC containers and system tasks.

Installation

Make it executable:

chmod +x proxmox-tools.sh

(Optional) Create an alias for easier access:

echo "alias ptools='sudo /path/to/proxmox-tools.sh'" >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc

Usage

Run the script:

sudo ./proxmox-tools.sh

Or with the alias:

ptools

Select an option from the menu using numbers (0-9). Follow the prompts to complete each task. The script returns to the menu after each operation; use 0 to exit.

Configuration Notes

Bind Mount Configuration (HOST_DIR):

The configure_bind_mount function uses a default HOST_DIR set to /mnt/multimedia. This must match an existing directory on your Proxmox host where your storage is mounted (e.g., /mnt/ssd/storage, /media/data, etc.).

To find your mount point, run:

df -h

And adjust HOST_DIR in the script:

HOST_DIR="/your/mount/point"

Example: If your storage is at /mnt/storage, edit line ~300 in proxmox-tools.sh to:

HOST_DIR="/mnt/storage"
