Get configarr into Proxmox Helper Scripts repository

[finkerle]

Hey, I wanted to use configarr but realized it is not in the helper scripts repository. Is there a way to run configarr as a Service? I would be willing to invest time to get configarr into helper scripts, but I think it would be nicer as a systemd service instead of systemd timer. What do you think?

Edit (2025-05-11):
Link to the helper scripts:

• https://github.com/finkerle/ProxmoxVED/blob/configarr-new/install/configarr-install.sh
• https://github.com/finkerle/ProxmoxVED/blob/configarr-new/ct/configarr.sh

Hmmm do you know if we can use docker inside the scripts. If yes setting up a service which triggers a docker run shouldn't be too hard I think.

At the moment configarr is not a executable binary which can just be executed. It's is a nodejs project where we would need to have nodejs installed in order to execute it.

No Problem, I'm on it at the moment. In the helper script I will build it from source. I think it might be a good idea if you look at the finished helper script before I do a PR. That way maybe we can assure that updates don't break the helper script. I'll let you know when it's done.

@finkerle took a look at the script and looks good to me. Do you plan to get it merged back to the official helper scripts repo or are you going to keep your fork?
Will add it to documentation depending on your plans.
