The easiest way to run Warracker on Proxmox is the community-maintained helper script from Proxmox VE Helper-Scripts (ct/warracker.sh). It creates an LXC container and installs Warracker in it — no Docker required.

The helper script is maintained by the community-scripts project, not by Warracker. As with any script you run on your hypervisor host, read it before running it: https://github.com/community-scripts/ProxmoxVE/blob/main/ct/warracker.sh

Contents

Install

Paste this into the Shell of your Proxmox node:

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

Select Default Settings for a standard install, or Advanced Settings to change the resources. When it finishes, the script prints the URL to open — the container's IP on port 80, for example:

http://192.168.1.100

Then create your first account in the web UI — the first account automatically becomes the admin. See Getting Started for the first-run checklist.

Default resources

These are the script's defaults (change them under Advanced Settings):

Setting Default
CPU 1 vCPU
RAM 512 MB
Disk 4 GB
OS Debian 13
Privilege Unprivileged
Architecture x86_64 and ARM64

How it differs from the Docker install

The helper script does not use Docker. It installs Warracker directly in the container from the GitHub release tarball, under /opt/warracker, with systemd services (warracker, warrackermigration, nginx) and a Python virtual environment. Configuration and data live inside the container, so back up the container itself (Proxmox backup) the way you would any other LXC.

Updating

Re-run the same helper script command. It detects the existing install and updates it to the latest Warracker release (stopping the services, deploying the new release, rebuilding the environment, and restarting).

Notes

  • If you prefer Docker, create a Debian LXC (or use the community Docker helper script) and follow the standard Getting Started Docker setup inside it instead.
  • Warracker is also available on Unraid (Community Apps — see Getting Started) and TrueNAS (Apps catalog).
  • The same guide lives in the repository at proxmox/.
