Create a Claude LXC

Notes for next version

Rebuilding the template LXC takes time — changes accumulate here to be applied on the next run:

1. Cleanup home dir (extra files).
2. apt install git-filter-repo
3. alias cgod='IS_SANDBOX=1 claude --dangerously-skip-permissions'
4. Install rust/cargo.

The how-to continues

The Docker LXC script isn't in the menu on the Proxmox Community Scripts site, but you can run it with this:

bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/community-scripts/ProxmoxVE/main/ct/docker.sh)"

Hit enter through all the questions except Y to update.

Open the console in Proxmox for the new container, and create an authorized_keys file with your public key.

Connect via SSH and install the rest of the stuff:

apt update
apt install zsh -y
chsh -s $(which zsh)
exit

Reconnect via SSH and continue:

sudo apt install -y gh

Install the cfg repo.

Install Claude Code:

curl -fsSL https://claude.ai/install.sh | bash

Install the VS Code server:

curl -Lk 'https://code.visualstudio.com/sha/download?build=stable&os=cli-alpine-x64' --output vscode_cli.tar.gz
tar -xf vscode_cli.tar.gz
rm vscode_cli.tar.gz

---

Not sure if these ones made it into the template:

Install more fzf, tmux and mosh:

apt install -y fzf tmux mosh

Install fzf-tmux.

Install fnm (fast Node.js manager):

curl -fsSL https://fnm.vercel.app/install | bash

Get IRC working

Install ii:

apt install ii

For Rust/Cargo (if needed — pkg-config seemed to be required on top of cargo):

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh
apt install pkg-config libssl-dev

Next steps

Web-based VS Code server at coder/code-server (maybe should use the installer from the Proxmox Community Scripts site instead?).

Connect to SSH and tmux in one command:

ssh username@server -t tmux attach
