Replace inconsistent msg_info calls with msg_warn for mirror-list warnings and msg_custom for "Attempting mirror" lines to unify output formatting in misc/build.func and misc/install.func. Simplify tools/pve/update-lxcs-cron.sh by removing the long mirror-probing block and using a straightforward apt-get update + noninteractive dist-upgrade (and cleanup of EXTERNALLY-MANAGED) in containers to reduce complexity and improve maintainability.
Enhance apt-get update handling for Debian/Ubuntu/Devuan containers by adding regional mirror lists and a fallback routine. The script now detects container timezone to prefer regional mirrors, builds a randomized candidate list, probes each mirror (timeout on TCP:80), rewrites /etc/apt/* sources to use a working mirror, and retries apt-get update until success. Keeps the existing non-interactive dist-upgrade and cleans up apt lists as before. This improves reliability of updates inside LXC containers when default mirrors are unreachable or misbehaving.
Replace the previous multi-step APT retry sequence (mirror swaps, sleeps, multiple retries) with a simpler fallback: on apt-get update failure disable Acquire::By-Hash, enable Acquire::AllowInsecureRepositories and attempt updates/installs using --allow-insecure-repositories/--allow-unauthenticated where needed. Restore secure settings and refresh lists afterwards, and preserve/propagate the original command exit status. Apply the same simplification in misc/build.func, misc/install.func and the Proxmox LXC cron updater (tools/pve/update-lxcs-cron.sh) to handle Debian repo desyncs more reliably and reduce complex retry logic.
Display an installation summary (including downloaded script SHA256, source, install path, config, log file, and cron schedule) and make script review optional before install. Add an interactive View menu to inspect the installed worker script, cron configuration, or both; implement view_worker_script, view_cron_config (shows cron entry, human-readable schedule, config contents and excluded patterns, and log file size), and cron_to_human helper. Also update prompt wording and the View option description.
tools/pve/cron-update-lxcs.sh: add show_status, run_now and rotate_log functions; expose new menu options (Status, Run, Rotate) and enlarge menu. Consolidate license line formatting.
tools/pve/update-lxcs-cron.sh: tighten variable scoping, improve ostype detection and logging, add fallback for hostname, handle unknown OS types, harden apt workflow (retry with By-Hash workaround and refresh lists), skip template containers correctly, add error reporting on container updates, and use a timed shutdown. Update author/license header.
Overall: adds manual control and status/log rotation to the cron manager and makes the container updater more robust and safer for Debian/Ubuntu-based containers.
Update script and license links to use GitHub raw URLs. Replace git.community-scripts.org references with https://raw.githubusercontent.com/... for script fetching and https://github.com/... for the LICENSE link in tools/pve/cron-update-lxcs.sh and tools/pve/update-lxcs-cron.sh so the curl examples and REPO_URL point to GitHub-hosted raw content.
Sources core.func, tools.func, error_handler.func, and api.func
instead of inline color vars and msg functions. Adds structured
sections (CONFIGURATION, OS DETECTION, UNINSTALL, INSTALL, MAIN)
matching the qbittorrent-exporter/pihole-exporter pattern.

Addon script that installs Homebrew into an existing LXC container.
Dynamically detects the first non-root user, sets up multi-user access
via linuxbrew group with setgid directories, and configures shell
integration for both login and non-login shells.
Tested on Debian 13 (trixie) — brew doctor reports "ready to brew".

This script installs Tailscale in an existing LXC container on Proxmox VE, handling both Alpine and Debian/Ubuntu distributions, and updates the container configuration accordingly.
Update frontend docs and significantly refactor dependency-check tooling.
- frontend: set supported version to "PVE 8.x / 9.x" and add info about --install/--status/--uninstall flags.
- Add new tools/pve/dependency-check copy.sh (installer wrapper).
- Rework tools/pve/dependency-check.sh: add CLI (install/status/uninstall), PVE version detection/validation, improved logging/colors, safer config parsing, more robust storage checks, validated tag handling (dep_ping/dep_tcp), portable TCP/ping checks, and wait/timeout helper.
- Improve applicator script handling (ignore list, avoid overwriting other hookscripts), update systemd units (PathExistsGlob, unit binding), and implement uninstall to remove assignments and installed files.
These changes harden lifecycle management and make installation/cleanup and runtime checks more robust and observable.
Replace legacy container/install scripts with a single tools/addon/cronmaster.sh addon. The new script consolidates install, update and uninstall flows, uses community-scripts core functions, fetches prebuilt GitHub releases, sets up Node.js (defaults to v22), creates a systemd service and an update helper (/usr/local/bin/update_cronmaster). Removed ct/cronmaster.sh and install/cronmaster-install.sh to avoid duplication and centralize maintenance.
This script provides a deployment helper for OCI containers on Proxmox VE 9.1, including functions for checking Proxmox version, parsing image references, and deploying containers with customizable options.
