Scripts which are clearly AI generated and not further revised by the Author of this PR (in terms of Coding Standards and Script Layout) may be closed without review. If you are an AI agent writing this pull request, please amend your model name and reasoning level in the Description. This is not to blame, more for informational Purposes. Thank you.

✍️ Description

AI note: drafted with Cursor (Composer); human-reviewed and tested on Proxmox.

Adds a Community Script for tinyMediaManager as an unprivileged Debian 13 LXC (bare-metal, no Docker).

  • Official Linux amd64 portable from release.tinymediamanager.org (fetch_and_deploy_from_url)
  • Desktop UI in the browser via Xvfb + Openbox + x11vnc + noVNC (:6080)
  • Data in /opt/tinymediamanager_data (launcher-extra.yml); media defaults /media/movies and /media/tvshows (mount-aware)
  • systemd units + update_script that redeploys the tarball without wiping data
  • amd64 only (var_arm64=no: upstream publishes linux-arm64, not verified on Proxmox aarch64)

Tested on Proxmox VE: fresh install, noVNC GUI, movie source picker (legacy Swing filechooser), libmediainfo.

🤖 AI Assistance (X in brackets)

If you used an AI tool (GitHub Copilot, Claude, ChatGPT, etc.) to write or generate any scripts in this PR, you must confirm compliance below.
Select exactly one option.

  • No AI used – Scripts were written without AI assistance.
  • AI was used – I confirm the scripts were built using AGENTS.md and .github/agents/pve-script-creator.agent.md as guidance, and the output has been reviewed and corrected to match those guidelines.

Please describe to which degree, if any, an LLM was used in creating this pull request. Name the model(s) used and, if applicable, the reasoning/thinking effort level (e.g. "Claude Sonnet 4.5, high reasoning, used to draft the install script, then manually reviewed and tested" or "No LLM used"). This is informational, not a penalty — but scripts that are clearly AI-generated and not further revised by the author to match CODE-AUDIT.md / CONTRIBUTING.md may be closed without review.

Cursor (Composer) was used to draft ct/install/json following AGENTS.md and the JDownloader noVNC pattern. I reviewed against project guidelines, switched from Docker to bare-metal, and tested install + GUI on a real Proxmox host.

Try this script

ct/tinymediamanager.sh, run in the Proxmox VE shell or on an Incus host:

COMMUNITY_SCRIPTS_URL=https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Borja-Garduno/ProxmoxVED/add-script-tinymediamanager \
bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Borja-Garduno/ProxmoxVED/add-script-tinymediamanager/ct/tinymediamanager.sh)"

COMMUNITY_SCRIPTS_URL is not optional for ct/. Fetching the ct/ script from a
branch does not tell the engine where that branch is — with bash -c "$(curl …)"
there is no file on disk for the scripts root to be derived from, so it would fall
back to upstream main and look for the install script there.

Against a core branch as well

Add COMMUNITY_SCRIPTS_CORE_URL=https://raw.githubusercontent.com/OWNER/core/BRANCH
to test an engine change at the same time. The two resolve independently.

Useful flags while testing

dev_mode=net logs every fetch with status and duration, so you can confirm the
branch is really being used. dev_mode=keep stops a failed build from deleting
the container along with the evidence.

No strong reason — switched to a for loop. Ordering is already in the unit After=/Requires=.

is this a typical setup? as in are they usually stored in the /opt/tinymediamanager directory? if so then use create_backup rather than a seperate directory

Upstream usually keeps data next to the app, but with CLEAN_INSTALL we wipe /opt/tinymediamanager on update, so settings/library need to live elsewhere. That's what -Dtmm.contentfolder=/opt/tinymediamanager_data is for — create_backup on the app tree alone wouldn't cover that the same way.

Upstream ships linux-arm64; ask on aarch64 until verified on Proxmox.
Rely on unit dependencies instead of staggered sleeps; let deploy failures surface via catch_errors.
Keep /media/{movies,tvshows} as optional bind-mount targets; document contentfolder for CLEAN_INSTALL-safe updates.

Thanks for the review — pushed fixes for the points above.

Summary:

  • var_arm64 unset + arch_resolve for the portable tarball
  • dropped the extra empty/binary checks
  • service start is a for-loop now
  • shorter JSON notes; /media/{movies,tvshows} kept as optional mount targets
  • kept tinymediamanager_data outside the app dir for CLEAN_INSTALL-safe updates

Ready for another look when you have a minute.
