✍️ Description

Adds Tvheadend, a TV streaming server and DVR for Linux (DVB-S/S2, DVB-C,
DVB-T/T2, ATSC, IPTV, SAT>IP, HDHomeRun sources; HTSP/HTTP output).

Built primarily with AI assistance (Claude Sonnet 5, standard reasoning
effort), following AGENTS.md and .github/agents/pve-script-creator.agent.md.
The output was reviewed and corrected by the author across several real
install/update runs on a live Proxmox VE 9.2.6 host — not just syntax-checked.

Two things worth a reviewer's attention:

• Distribution model: Tvheadend isn't distributed via GitHub releases —
  it ships through its own Cloudsmith-hosted APT repository. The install
  script uses setup_deb822_repo + apt install, and updates are a plain
  apt update && apt install -y tvheadend, matching the pattern already used
  by elasticsearch.sh/nomad.sh in this repo for the same kind of
  vendor-repo distribution.
• Debconf credentials: the Debian package itself prompts for an admin
  username/password via debconf during install (the account can't be changed
  from inside Tvheadend afterwards). Under this project's noninteractive
  install, that prompt would otherwise be silently skipped and leave a
  blank, unusable superuser account — caught by actually logging in after
  a real install, not by any static check. The script preseeds debconf with
  var_admin_user/var_admin_pass (defaults: admin / auto-generated) so
  the account works immediately; credentials are saved to ~/tvheadend.creds
  and echoed once at the end of setup.

📋 Additional Information (optional)

Tested on a live Proxmox VE 9.2.6 host, from a local checkout and via the
public-fork curl one-liner (docs/guides/source-origin.md variant 1),
including a fresh install and a re-run of the update path. Login to the web
UI verified with the generated credentials each time.

Official release tarballs: Tvheadend has essentially no active GitHub
Releases history (one tag, from 2017). I checked that requirement below on
the basis that its real official distribution — the Cloudsmith APT repository
this script installs from — is versioned and reproducible the same way a
release tarball would be, just not hosted as a GitHub release. Flagging this
explicitly so a reviewer can make their own call rather than assuming I
overlooked it.

Try this script

COMMUNITY_SCRIPTS_URL=https://raw.githubusercontent.com/opastorello/ProxmoxVED/add-tvheadend \
bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/opastorello/ProxmoxVED/add-tvheadend/ct/tvheadend.sh)"

COMMUNITY_SCRIPTS_URL is not optional. Fetching the ct/ script from a branch
does not tell the engine where that branch is — with bash -c "$(curl …)" there
is no file on disk for the scripts root to be derived from, so it would fall back
to upstream main and look for the install script there.

Against a core branch as well

Add COMMUNITY_SCRIPTS_CORE_URL=https://raw.githubusercontent.com/OWNER/core/BRANCH
to test an engine change at the same time. The two resolve independently.

Useful flags while testing

dev_mode=net logs every fetch with status and duration, so you can confirm the
branch is really being used. dev_mode=keep stops a failed build from deleting
the container along with the evidence.

[MickLesk]

where you set these vars?

[opastorello]

They come from ct/tvheadend.sh, which exports both before build_container:

export var_admin_user="${var_admin_user:-admin}"
export var_admin_pass="${var_admin_pass:-$(openssl rand -base64 18 | tr -dc 'a-zA-Z0-9' | cut -c1-13)}"

and they're declared as app_vars in the JSON, so an unattended install can pass its own (AGENTS.md §24 pattern). The password is generated on the host side so the final message can print it; it's also written to ~/tvheadend.creds.

Fair point that the install script alone didn't show any of that — latest push adds the same defaults there, so it's self-contained if it ever runs without the ct environment. Also rebased onto current main.

Re-tested from the branch after the change: install OK (4.3-2795), digest login with the generated credentials → 200, wrong password → 403, anonymous → 401, update inside the container OK.

@MickLesk replied inline about where var_admin_user/var_admin_pass come from (set in ct/tvheadend.sh before build_container, declared as app_vars in the JSON per AGENTS.md §24). Let me know if that answers it or if you'd like something changed.
