# PairDrop Installation via Proxmox VE Helper-Scripts

This guide covers installing **PairDrop** in an LXC container using the community-built [Proxmox VE Helper-Scripts](https://community-scripts.github.io/ProxmoxVE/scripts?id=pairdrop). These scripts make deploying apps like PairDrop fast, standardized, and repeatable.

#### **🧰 Step-by-Step Instructions**

- To create a new Proxmox VE PairDrop LXC, run the command below in the Proxmox VE Shell.

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

This command runs a script that launches an interactive menu for installing **PairDrop** in a container.

#### Follow the Installation Prompts

The script will guide you through a series of options. Typical options include:

- Set **container ID** (e.g. `904`)
- Choose **hostname** (e.g. `pairdrop`)
- Select a **static IP address** (e.g. `172.30.0.x`)
- Confirm **bridge interface** (e.g. `vmbr0`)
- Choose container **storage** (e.g. `local-lvm`)
- Set **root password**
- Enable optional features (SSH, nesting, etc.)

#### Wait for the Script to Finish

Once confirmed, the script will:

- Download the latest **Debian 12** template
- Create the LXC container
- Install **Docker** inside the container
- Deploy the **PairDrop** Docker container

#### Access the PairDrop Web Interface

Once complete, open your browser and go to:

```
http://<your-static-ip>:3000
```
