## Proxmox Custom Codes
Custom exit codes specific to ProxmoxVED scripts.
### Container Creation Errors (200-209)
| Code | Description | Common Causes | Solutions |
| ------- | ---------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------- |
| **200** | Failed to create lock file | Permission denied, disk full | Check `/tmp` permissions, free disk space |
| **203** | Missing CTID variable | Script configuration error | Set CTID in script or via prompt |
| **204** | Missing PCT_OSTYPE variable | Template selection failed | Verify template availability |
| **205** | Invalid CTID (<100) | CTID below minimum value | Use CTID 100 (1-99 reserved for Proxmox) |
| **206** | CTID already in use | Container/VM with same ID exists | Check `pct list` and `/etc/pve/lxc/`, use different ID |
| **207** | Password contains unescaped special characters | Special chars like `-`, `/`, `\`, `*` at start/end | Avoid leading special chars, use alphanumeric passwords |
| **208** | Invalid configuration | DNS format (`.home` vs `home`), MAC format (`-` vs `:`) | Remove leading dots from DNS, use `:` in MAC addresses |
| **209** | Container creation failed | Multiple possible causes | Check logs in `/tmp/pct_create_*.log`, verify template |
### Cluster & Storage Errors (210, 214, 217)
| Code | Description | Common Causes | Solutions |
| ------- | --------------------------------- | ---------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------- |
| **210** | Cluster not quorate | Cluster nodes down, network issues | Check cluster status: `pvecm status`, fix node connectivity |
| **211** | Timeout waiting for template lock | Concurrent download in progress | Wait for other download to complete (60s timeout) |
| **214** | Not enough storage space | Disk full, quota exceeded | Free disk space, increase storage allocation |
| **217** | Storage does not support rootdir | Wrong storage type selected | Use storage supporting containers (dir, zfspool, lvm-thin) |
### Container Verification Errors (215-216)
| Code | Description | Common Causes | Solutions |
| ------- | -------------------------------- | -------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------- |
| **215** | Container created but not listed | Ghost state, incomplete creation | Check `/etc/pve/lxc/CTID.conf`, remove manually if needed |
| **216** | RootFS entry missing in config | Incomplete container creation | Delete container, retry creation |
### Template Errors (218, 220-223, 225)
| Code | Description | Common Causes | Solutions |
| ------- | ----------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------ | ----------------------------------------------------------- |
| **218** | Template file corrupted or incomplete | Download interrupted, file <1MB, invalid archive | Delete template, run `pveam update && pveam download` |
| **220** | Unable to resolve template path | Template storage not accessible | Check storage availability, verify permissions |
| **221** | Template file exists but not readable | Permission denied | `chmod 644 template.tar.zst`, check storage permissions |
| **222** | Template download failed after 3 attempts | Network issues, storage problems | Check internet connectivity, verify storage space |
| **223** | Template not available after download | Storage sync issue, I/O delay | Wait a few seconds, verify storage is mounted |
| **225** | No template available for OS/Version | Unsupported OS version, catalog outdated | Run `pveam update`, check `pveam available -section system` |
### LXC Stack Errors (231)
| Code | Description | Common Causes | Solutions |
| ------- | ------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------- |
| **231** | LXC stack upgrade/retry failed | Outdated `pve-container`, Debian 13.1 issue | See [Debian 13.1 Fix Guide](#debian-131-fix) |
---
## Special Case: Debian 13.1 "unsupported version" Error
### Problem
```
TASK ERROR: unable to create CT 129 - unsupported debian version '13.1'
```
### Root Cause
Outdated `pve-container` package doesn't recognize Debian 13 (Trixie).
### Solutions
#### Option 1: Full System Upgrade (Recommended)
```bash
apt update
apt full-upgrade -y
reboot
```
Verify fix:
```bash
dpkg -l pve-container
# PVE 8: Should show 5.3.3+
# PVE 9: Should show 6.0.13+
```
#### Option 2: Update Only pve-container
```bash
apt update
apt install --only-upgrade pve-container -y
```
**Warning:** If Proxmox fails to boot after this, your system was inconsistent. Perform Option 1 instead.
#### Option 3: Verify Repository Configuration
Many users disable Enterprise repos but forget to add no-subscription repos.
**For PVE 9 (Trixie):**
```bash
cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pve-no-subscription.list
```
Should contain:
```
deb http://download.proxmox.com/debian/pve trixie pve-no-subscription
deb http://download.proxmox.com/debian/ceph-squid trixie no-subscription
```
**For PVE 8 (Bookworm):**
```
deb http://download.proxmox.com/debian/pve bookworm pve-no-subscription
deb http://download.proxmox.com/debian/ceph-quincy bookworm no-subscription
```
Then:
```bash
apt update
apt full-upgrade -y
```

## Troubleshooting Tips
### Finding Error Details
1. **Check logs:**
```bash
tail -n 50 /tmp/pct_create_*.log
```
2. **Enable verbose mode:**
```bash
bash -x script.sh # Shows every command executed
```
3. **Check container status:**
```bash
pct list
pct status CTID
```
4. **Verify storage:**
```bash
pvesm status
df -h
```
### Common Patterns
- **Exit 0 with error message:** Configuration validation failed (check DNS, MAC, password format)
- **Exit 206 but container not visible:** Ghost container state - check `/etc/pve/lxc/` manually
- **Exit 209 generic error:** Check `/tmp/pct_create_*.log` for specific `pct create` failure reason
- **Exit 218 or 222:** Template issues - delete and re-download template
