+# Community Scripts Contribution Guide
+
+## **Welcome to the communty-scripts Repository!** 
+📜 These documents outline the essential coding standards for all our scripts and JSON files. Adhering to these standards ensures that our codebase remains consistent, readable, and maintainable. By following these guidelines, we can improve collaboration, reduce errors, and enhance the overall quality of our project.
+
+### Why Coding Standards Matter
+
+Coding standards are crucial for several reasons:
+
+1. **Consistency**: Consistent code is easier to read, understand, and maintain. It helps new team members quickly get up to speed and reduces the learning curve.
+2. **Readability**: Clear and well-structured code is easier to debug and extend. It allows developers to quickly identify and fix issues.
+3. **Maintainability**: Code that follows a standard structure is easier to refactor and update. It ensures that changes can be made with minimal risk of introducing new bugs.
+4. **Collaboration**: When everyone follows the same standards, it becomes easier to collaborate on code. It reduces friction and misunderstandings during code reviews and merges.
+
+### Scope of These Documents
+
+These documents cover the coding standards for the following types of files in our project:
+
+- **`install/$AppName-install.sh` Scripts**: These scripts are responsible for the installation of applications.
+- **`ct/$AppName.sh` Scripts**: These scripts handle the creation and updating of containers.
+- **`json/$AppName.json`**: These files store structured data and are used for the website.
+
+Each section provides detailed guidelines on various aspects of coding, including shebang usage, comments, variable naming, function naming, indentation, error handling, command substitution, quoting, script structure, and logging. Additionally, examples are provided to illustrate the application of these standards.
+
+By following the coding standards outlined in this document, we ensure that our scripts and JSON files are of high quality, making our project more robust and easier to manage. Please refer to this guide whenever you create or update scripts and JSON files to maintain a high standard of code quality across the project. 📚🔍
+
+Let's work together to keep our codebase clean, efficient, and maintainable! 💪🚀
+
+

+
+### Important Notes
+- Use [AppName.sh](https://github.com/community-scripts/ProxmoxVE/blob/contributor_guide/.github/CONTRIBUTOR_GUIDE/ct/AppName.sh) and [AppName-install.sh](https://github.com/community-scripts/ProxmoxVE/blob/contributor_guide/.github/CONTRIBUTOR_GUIDE/install/AppName-install.sh) as templates when creating new scripts.
+- The call to `community-scripts/ProxmoxVE` should be adjusted to reflect the correct fork URL.
+
+---
+
+# 🚀 The Application Script (ct/AppName.sh)
+
+- You can find all coding standards, as well as the structure for this file [here](https://github.com/community-scripts/ProxmoxVE/blob/contributor_guide/.github/CONTRIBUTOR_GUIDE/ct/AppName.md).
+- These scripts are responsible for container creation, setting the necessary variables and handling the update of the application once installed.
+
+---
+
+# 🛠 The Installation Script (install/AppName-install.sh)
+
+- You can find all coding standards, as well as the structure for this file [here](https://github.com/community-scripts/ProxmoxVE/blob/contributor_guide/.github/CONTRIBUTOR_GUIDE/install/AppName-install.md).

+# **AppName<span></span>.sh Scripts**
+ `AppName.sh` scripts found in the `/ct` directory. These scripts are responsible for the installation of the desired application. For this guide we take `/ct/snipeit.sh` as example.
+
+
+## 1. **File Header**
+
+### 1.1 **Shebang**
+- Use `#!/usr/bin/env bash` as the shebang.
+
+```bash
+#!/usr/bin/env bash
+```
+### 1.2 **Import Functions**
+- Import the build.func file.
+- When developing your own script, change the URL to your own repository.
+
+> [!CAUTION]
+> Before opening a Pull Request, change the URL to point to the community-scripts repo.
+
+Example for development:
+```bash
+source <(curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/[USER]/[REPO]/refs/heads/[BRANCH]/misc/build.func)
+```
+
+Example for final script: 
+```bash
+source <(curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/community-scripts/ProxmoxVE/main/misc/build.func)
+```
+
+### 1.3 **Metadata**
+- Add clear comments for script metadata, including author, copyright, and license information.
+
+Example:
+```bash
+# Copyright (c) 2021-2024 community-scripts ORG
+# Author: [YourUserName]
+# License: MIT | https://github.com/community-scripts/ProxmoxVE/raw/main/LICENSE
+# Source: [SOURCE_URL]
+```
+
+> [!NOTE]: 
+> - Add your username and source URL
+> - For existing scripts, add "| Co-Author [YourUserName]" after the current author
+
+---
+
+## 2 **Variables and function import**
+> [!NOTE]
+> You need to have all this set in your script, otherwise it will not work!
+
+### 2.1 **Default Values**
+- This section sets the default values for the container.
+- `APP` needs to be set to the application name and must be equal to the filenames of your scripts.
+- `var_tags`: You can set Tags for the CT wich show up in the Proxmox UI. Don´t overdo it! 
+
+>[!NOTE]
+>Description for all Default Values
+>| Variable | Description | Notes |
+>|----------|-------------|-------|
+>| `APP` | Application name | Must match ct\AppName.sh |
+>| `TAGS` | Proxmox display tags without Spaces, only ; | Limit the number |  
+>| `var_cpu` | CPU cores | Number of cores |
+>| `var_ram` | RAM | In MB |
+>| `var_disk` | Disk capacity | In GB |
+>| `var_os` | Operating system | alpine, debian, ubuntu |
+>| `var_version` | OS version | e.g., 3.20, 11, 12, 20.04 |
+>| `var_unprivileged` | Container type | 1 = Unprivileged, 0 = Privileged |
+
+Example:
+```bash
+APP="SnipeIT"
+var_tags="asset-management;foss"
+var_cpu="2"
+var_ram="2048"
+var_disk="4"
+var_os="debian"
+var_version="12"
+var_unprivileged="1"
+```
+
+## 2.2 **📋 App output & base settings**
+
+```bash
+# App Output & Base Settings
+header_info "$APP"
+base_settings
+```
+
+- `header_info`: Generates ASCII header for APP
+- `base_settings`: Allows overwriting variable values
+
+## 2.3 **🛠 Core functions**
+
+```bash
+# Core
+variables
+color
+catch_errors
+```
+
+- `variables`: Processes input and prepares variables
+- `color`: Sets icons, colors, and formatting
+- `catch_errors`: Enables error handling
+
+---
+
+## 3 **Update function**
+
+### 3.1 **Function Header**
+- If applicable write a function that updates the application and the OS in the container.
+- Each update function starts with the same code:
+```bash
+function update_script() {
+  header_info
+  check_container_storage
+  check_container_resources
+```
+
+### 3.2 **Check APP**
+- Before doing anything update-wise, check if the app is installed in the container.
+
+Example:
+```bash
+if [[ ! -d /opt/snipe-it ]]; then
+    msg_error "No ${APP} Installation Found!"
+    exit
+  fi
+```
+### 3.3 **Check version**
+- Befoer updating, check if a new version exists. 
+  - We use the `${APPLICATION}_version.txt` file created in `/opt` during the install to compare new versions against the currently installed version.
+
+Example with a Github Release:
+```bash
+ RELEASE=$(curl -fsSL https://api.github.com/repos/snipe/snipe-it/releases/latest | grep "tag_name" | awk '{print substr($2, 3, length($2)-4) }')
+  if [[ ! -f /opt/${APP}_version.txt ]] || [[ "${RELEASE}" != "$(cat /opt/${APP}_version.txt)" ]]; then
+    msg_info "Updating ${APP} to v${RELEASE}"
+    #DO UPDATE
+  else
+    msg_ok "No update required. ${APP} is already at v${RELEASE}."
+  fi
+  exit
+}
+```
+### 3.4 **Verbosity**
+- Use the appropriate flag (**-q** in the examples) for a command to suppress its output.
+Example:
+```bash
+wget -q
+unzip -q
+```
+- If a command does not come with this functionality use `&>/dev/null` to suppress it's output.
+
+Example:
+```bash
+php artisan migrate --force &>/dev/null
+php artisan config:clear &>/dev/null
+```
+
+### 3.5 **Backups**
+- Backup user data if necessary.
+- Move all user data back in the directory when the update is finished.
+>[!NOTE]
+>This is not meant to be a permanent backup
+
+Example backup:
+```bash
+  mv /opt/snipe-it /opt/snipe-it-backup
+```
+Example config restore:
+```bash
+  cp /opt/snipe-it-backup/.env /opt/snipe-it/.env
+  cp -r /opt/snipe-it-backup/public/uploads/ /opt/snipe-it/public/uploads/
+  cp -r /opt/snipe-it-backup/storage/private_uploads /opt/snipe-it/storage/private_uploads
+```
+
+### 3.6 **Cleanup**
+- Do not forget to remove any temporary files/folders such as zip-files or temporary backups.
+Example:
+```bash
+  rm -rf /opt/v${RELEASE}.zip
+  rm -rf /opt/snipe-it-backup
+```
+
+### 3.7 **No update function**
+- In case you can not provide a update function use the following code to provide user feedback.
+```bash
+function update_script() {
+    header_info
+    check_container_storage
+    check_container_resources
+    if [[ ! -d /opt/snipeit ]]; then
+        msg_error "No ${APP} Installation Found!"
+        exit
+    fi
+    msg_error "Ther is currently no automatic update function for ${APP}."
+    exit
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## 4 **End of the script**
+- `start`: Launches Whiptail dialogue
+- `build_container`: Collects and integrates user settings
+- `description`: Sets LXC container description
+- With `echo -e "${TAB}${GATEWAY}${BGN}http://${IP}${CL}"` you can point the user to the IP:PORT/folder needed to access the app.
+
+```bash
+start
+build_container
+description
+
+msg_ok "Completed Successfully!\n"
+echo -e "${CREATING}${GN}${APP} setup has been successfully initialized!${CL}"
+echo -e "${INFO}${YW} Access it using the following URL:${CL}"
+echo -e "${TAB}${GATEWAY}${BGN}http://${IP}${CL}"
+```
+---
+

+
+# **AppName<span></span>-install.sh Scripts**
+ `AppName-install.sh` scripts found in the `/install` directory. These scripts are responsible for the installation of the application. For this guide we take `/install/snipeit-install.sh` as example.
+
+## 1. **File header**
+
+### 1.1 **Shebang**
+- Use `#!/usr/bin/env bash` as the shebang.
+
+```bash
+#!/usr/bin/env bash
+```
+
+### 1.2 **Comments**
+- Add clear comments for script metadata, including author, copyright, and license information.
+- Use meaningful inline comments to explain complex commands or logic.
+
+Example:
+```bash
+# Copyright (c) 2021-2024 community-scripts ORG
+# Author: [YourUserName]
+# License: MIT
+# Source: [SOURCE_URL]
+```
+> [!NOTE]: 
+> - Add your username
+> - When updating/reworking scripts, add "| Co-Author [YourUserName]"
+
+### 1.3 **Variables and function import**
+- This sections adds the support for all needed functions and variables.
+```bash
+source /dev/stdin <<<"$FUNCTIONS_FILE_PATH"
+color
+verb_ip6
+catch_errors
+setting_up_container
+network_check
+update_os
+```
+---
+
+## 2. **Variable naming and management**
+
+### 2.1 **Naming conventions**
+- Use uppercase names for constants and environment variables.
+- Use lowercase names for local script variables.
+
+Example:
+```bash
+DB_NAME=snipeit_db    # Environment-like variable (constant)
+db_user="snipeit"     # Local variable
+```
+---
+
+## 3. **Dependencies**
+
+### 3.1 **Install all at once**
+- Install all dependencies with a single command if possible
+
+Example:
+```bash
+$STD apt-get install -y \
+  curl \
+  composer \
+  git \
+  sudo \
+  mc \
+  nginx 
+```
+
+### 3.2 **Collapse dependencies**
+Collapse dependencies to keep the code readable.
+
+Example: <br>
+Use
+```bash
+php8.2-{bcmath,common,ctype}
+```
+instead of
+```bash
+php8.2-bcmath php8.2-common php8.2-ctype
+```
+
+---
+
+## 4. **Paths to application files**
+If possible install the app and all necessary files in `/opt/`
+
+---
+
+## 5. **Version management**
+
+### 5.1 **Install the latest release**
+- Always try and install the latest release
+- Do not hardcode any version if not absolutely necessary
+
+Example for a git release:
+```bash
+RELEASE=$(curl -fsSL https://api.github.com/repos/snipe/snipe-it/releases/latest | grep "tag_name" | awk '{print substr($2, 3, length($2)-4) }')
+wget -q "https://github.com/snipe/snipe-it/archive/refs/tags/v${RELEASE}.zip"
+```
+
+### 5.2 **Save the version for update checks**
+- Write the installed version into a file.
+- This is used for the update function in AppName.sh to check for updates
+
+Example:
+```bash
+echo "${RELEASE}" >"/opt/AppName_version.txt"
+```
+---
+
+## 6. **Input and output management**
+
+### 6.1 **User feedback**
+- Use standard functions like `msg_info` and `msg_ok` to print status messages.
+- Display meaningful progress messages at key stages.
+
+Example:
+```bash
+msg_info "Installing Dependencies"
+$STD apt-get install ...
+msg_ok "Installed Dependencies"
+```
+### 6.2 **Verbosity**
+- Use the appropiate flag (**-q** in the examples) for a command to suppres its output
+Example:
+```bash
+wget -q
+unzip -q
+```
+- If a command dose not come with such a functionality use `$STD` (a custom standard redirection variable) for managing output verbosity.
+
+Example:
+```bash
+$STD apt-get install -y nginx
+```
+
+---
+
+## 7. **String/File Manipulation**
+
+### 7.1 **File Manipulation**
+- Use `sed` to replace placeholder values in configuration files.
+
+Example:
+```bash
+sed -i -e "s|^DB_DATABASE=.*|DB_DATABASE=$DB_NAME|" \
+       -e "s|^DB_USERNAME=.*|DB_USERNAME=$DB_USER|" \
+       -e "s|^DB_PASSWORD=.*|DB_PASSWORD=$DB_PASS|" .env
+```
+
+---
+
+## 8. **Security practices**
+
+### 8.1 **Password generation**
+- Use `openssl` to generate random passwords.
+- Use only alphanumeric values to not introduce unknown behaviour.
+
+Example:
+```bash
+DB_PASS=$(openssl rand -base64 18 | tr -dc 'a-zA-Z0-9' | head -c13)
+```
+
+### 8.2 **File permissions**
+Explicitly set secure ownership and permissions for sensitive files.
+
+Example:
+```bash
+chown -R www-data: /opt/snipe-it
+chmod -R 755 /opt/snipe-it
+```
+
+---
+
+## 9. **Service Configuration**
+
+### 9.1 **Configuration files**
+Use `cat <<EOF` to write configuration files in a clean and readable way.
+
+Example:
+```bash
+cat <<EOF >/etc/nginx/conf.d/snipeit.conf
+server {
+    listen 80;
+    root /opt/snipe-it/public;
+    index index.php;
+}
+EOF
+```
+### 9.2 **Credential management**
+Store the generated credentials in a file.
+
+Example:
+```bash
+USERNAME=username
+PASSWORD=$(openssl rand -base64 18 | tr -dc 'a-zA-Z0-9' | head -c13)
+{
+    echo "Application-Credentials"
+    echo "Username: $USERNAME"
+    echo "Password: $PASSWORD"
+} >> ~/application.creds
+```
+### 9.3 **Enviroment files**
+Use `cat <<EOF` to write enviromental files in a clean and readable way.
+
+Example:
+```bash
+cat <<EOF >/path/to/.env
+VARIABLE="value"
+PORT=3000
+DB_NAME="${DB_NAME}"
+EOF
+```
+
+### 9.4 **Services**
+Enable affected services after configuration changes and start them right away.
+
+Example:
+```bash
+systemctl enable -q --now nginx
+```
+
+---
+
+## 10. **Cleanup**
+
+### 10.1 **Remove temporary files**
+Remove temporary files and downloads after use.
+
+Example:
+```bash
+rm -rf /opt/v${RELEASE}.zip
+```
+
+### 10.2 **Autoremove and autoclean**
+Remove unused dependencies to reduce disk space usage.
+
+Example:
+```bash
+apt-get -y autoremove
+apt-get -y autoclean
+```
+
+---
+
