2. Copy SSH keys

   Get IP address

   ip addr | grep 192
   

   Add to SSH config

   Host jdl-docker
       HostName 192.168.1.21
       User root
   Host *
       IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa

   cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub | ssh jdl-docker "cat >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys"
   

3. Tailscale setup¹

   curl -fsSL https://tailscale.com/install.sh | sh
   

   Tunneling from an LXC²

   Need to pass the tunnel device from the Proxmox host into the LXC.

   Get the numbers

   root@pve:~# ls -l /dev/net
   total 0
   crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 10, 200 Nov 17 08:46 tun
   

   Add to config file in /etc/pve/lxc

   lxc.cgroup.devices.allow: c 10:200 rwm
   lxc.mount.entry: /dev/net/tun dev/net/tun none bind,create=file
   

4. Avahi setup

   apt install -y avahi-daemon
   

5. Install GitHub CLI

   type -p curl >/dev/null || (sudo apt update && sudo apt install curl -y)
   curl -fsSL https://cli.github.com/packages/githubcli-archive-keyring.gpg | sudo dd of=/usr/share/keyrings/githubcli-archive-keyring.gpg \
   && sudo chmod go+r /usr/share/keyrings/githubcli-archive-keyring.gpg \
   && echo "deb [arch=$(dpkg --print-architecture) signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/githubcli-archive-keyring.gpg] https://cli.github.com/packages stable main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/github-cli.list > /dev/null \
   && sudo apt update \
   && sudo apt install gh -y
   

6. Zigbee stack install

   git clone https://github.com/jsl12/zigbee-stack
   ./zigbee-stack/scripts/setup.sh
   

7. Dashboard stack install

   git clone https://github.com/jsl12/pve-dashboards
   ./pve-dashboards/scripts/setup.sh
   

8. Connect PVE metric server
