yes

📝 Provide a clear and concise description of the issue.

When attempting to install a script after downloading, error log is presented per the below with the installation not being completed and the process has to be stopped.

Update of existing LXC's works smoothly and testing is showing that connection to server has been successful, including a manual SSH attempt on the LXC itself.

🔄 Steps to reproduce the issue.

1. Install ProxmoxVE-Local script using defaults
2. Login first time
3. Create server and connect to it - Test to verify connection is successful
4. Find example script to install (e.g. OpenWebUI, Debian, Alpine) and download
5. Once downloaded select install and select server previously created
6. Error occurs

❌ Paste the full error output (if available).

[13:44:52] [START] Starting SSH execution of scripts/ct/openwebui.sh on
[13:44:52] [ERROR] SSHPASS: Failed to run command: No such file or directory

[13:44:52] [ERROR] rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes received so far) [sender]
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(232) [sender=3.4.1]

[13:44:52] [ERROR] SSH execution failed: rsync failed with code 12
[13:44:52] [ERROR] Failed to start SSH execution: rsync failed with code 12

🖼️ Additional context (optional).

I have also connected to both the Proxmox host and the machine to verify things such as SSHPASS and rsync are installed given it appears to be erroring on these areas.

Unsure if the LXC needs to be privileged or not however given the default is unprivileged it has been setup in this configuration. Have also verified that the firewall is not blocking the traffic as far as I can see.

Sadly i can not reproduce this issue. Can you try and recreate the LXC and try again?

[Kolyangus]

No worries, I'll let you know the outcome.

An interesting update, I have now switched over to using SSH Key compared with password that I was using originally, understanding this is not best practise. Now without going into too much detail the following symbols are used within the password { and -.

As soon as I switched over to SSH Key it worked flawlessly so I'm not sure whether there is something that is causing a conflict with the password that is being entered which is not escaped and causing the code to interpret the symbols as command?

Clutching at strings here but so far this is what I have.

Tbf. SSH-KEY should be used over password when possible. But i thank you for sharing the Chars you have in your PW, i suspect the { to be the issue here. I look at the password validation code again.
