   The DietPi script is ready for testing:

   bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://github.com/community-scripts/ProxmoxVED/raw/main/ct/dietpi.sh)"
   

   Default credentials:
   Username: root
   Password: dietpi

   Restart the container once after creation; DietPi's interactive first run setup starts at the next login.
   SSH server, locale, software picks and more can be preconfigured in /boot/dietpi.txt before that restart.
   A root password set in the advanced settings is applied to root and the dietpi user at that restart. Without one, both get the password dietpi.

   Note: This is not in the official repo yet—it's just a dev version! After merging into ProxmoxVE, it will need to be recreated.

   One thing to know before testing this with the default settings: without a root password the web console currently logs in with TERM=-, DietPi's first run setup dies on its first tput call and you are left at a bash prompt. It is the agetty line from #2258, not something in DietPi. #2298 takes care of it in the install script until the line in core is fixed.

   If you already created a container and ran into it, this in the container gets you a fresh login where the setup starts:

   sed -i 's/ - linux$/ linux/' /etc/systemd/system/container-getty@1.service.d/override.conf
   systemctl daemon-reload
   systemctl restart container-getty@1
   

   Containers created with a root password in the advanced settings are not affected, there is no autologin override in that case.
