What type of issue is this?

Documentation

A clear and concise description of the issue.

there is a typo in description of "How to use" the PBS Post Install script. The script says to run it only on Proxmox VE shell, but I believe it should be state to be run in PBS shell only.

In the top blue boxes the description is correct (run on PBS shell) but in the "how to use section" there is a reference to Proxmox VE shell instead of to Proxmox Backup Server shell.

Which browser are you using?

Firefox

If relevant, including screenshots or a code block can be helpful in clarifying the issue.

It would be possible to change this if we, for example, added the required execution environment to every JSON file. However, I’m not sure it would be worth the time, especially for this example. If you have a script that is a Proxmox Backup Server post-install, you can safely assume it needs to be executed in the Proxmox Backup Server terminal.

That said, this has been a recurring topic, with more people getting confused. Adding this information to every JSON file (for example, as an enum) would provide more flexibility.
