Install AMUD on Proxmox in One Command (No Docker Required)

Description and use

Install AMUD on Proxmox with a single command for a lightweight Rust dashboard without Docker.

Problem

Managing 20+ services on Proxmox lacks a unified, lightweight dashboard; most solutions rely on Docker and heavy runtimes.

Outcome

AMUD provides a lightweight, native Rust dashboard on Proxmox with minimal resource usage, eliminating Docker and enabling real‑time monitoring and control of VMs/LXC containers.

Workflow

• SSH into Proxmox host as root
• Run curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/boubli/AMUD-Dashboard/main/setup-amud.sh | bash
• The script installs amud-agent as a systemd service on the host
• Creates an LXC named amud-dashboard (1 CPU, 256 MB RAM, 4 GB disk)
• Bind‑mounts /opt/amud/run so agent and server share IPC socket
• Deploys amud-server and outputs the container IP
• Open the dashboard at http://<LXC-IP>:8000/
• Login with username admin and password password
• Change password in Settings → Admin Profile
• Set up Proxmox API token via CLI commands to enable live LXC status and control

Evidence

AMUD splits into two tiny daemons: amud-agent runs on the Proxmox host and amud-server runs in a Debian 12 LXC

Source

The script will: Install amud-agent as a systemd service on the host; Create an LXC named amud-dashboard; Bind‑mount /opt/amud/run; Deploy amud-server
