+# NetAlertX Proxmox Installer
+
+A comprehensive installer script for deploying NetAlertX on Proxmox VE (Debian-based) systems. This installer automates the complete setup including dependencies, NGINX configuration, systemd service, and security hardening.
+
+## 🚀 Quick Start
+
+### Prerequisites
+- Proxmox VE (Debian-based)
+- Root access
+- Internet connection
+
+### Installation
+
+```bash
+# Download and run the installer
+curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/JVKeller/NetAlertX/main/install/proxmox/proxmox-install-netalertx.sh | bash
+```
+
+### Non-Interactive Installation
+```bash
+# Skip all prompts and use defaults
+NETALERTX_ASSUME_YES=1 curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/JVKeller/NetAlertX/main/install/proxmox/proxmox-install-netalertx.sh | bash
+
+# Custom port
+PORT=8080 NETALERTX_ASSUME_YES=1 curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/JVKeller/NetAlertX/main/install/proxmox/proxmox-install-netalertx.sh | bash
+```
+
+## 📋 What This Installer Does
+
+### System Dependencies
+- **PHP 8.4** with FPM, SQLite3, cURL extensions
+- **NGINX** with custom configuration
+- **Python 3** with virtual environment
+- **Network tools**: nmap, arp-scan, traceroute, mtr, speedtest-cli
+- **Additional tools**: git, build-essential, avahi-daemon
+
+### Security Features
+- **Hardened permissions**: Proper user/group ownership
+- **TMPFS mounts**: Log and API directories mounted as tmpfs for security
+- **NGINX user**: Configured to run as www-data
+- **Strict bash options**: Error handling and security
+
+### Service Management
+- **Systemd service**: Auto-start on boot with restart policies
+- **Service monitoring**: Built-in health checks and logging
+- **Dependency management**: Waits for network and NGINX
+
+## 🔧 Configuration
+
+### Port Configuration
+The installer prompts for a custom port (default: 20211) with a 10-second countdown:
+
+```
+Enter HTTP port for NetAlertX [20211] (auto-continue in 10s): 
+```
+
+### Environment Variables
+| Variable | Description | Default |
+|----------|-------------|---------|
+| `NETALERTX_ASSUME_YES` | Skip all prompts | `false` |
+| `NETALERTX_FORCE` | Force installation | `false` |
+| `PORT` | Custom HTTP port | `20211` |
+| `LISTEN_ADDR` | Bind address | `0.0.0.0` |
+| `ALWAYS_FRESH_INSTALL` | Clear existing data | `false` |
+
+### Service Management
+```bash
+# Check service status
+systemctl status netalertx
+
+# View logs
+journalctl -u netalertx -f
+
+# Restart service
+systemctl restart netalertx
+
+# Stop service
+systemctl stop netalertx
+```
+
+## 🌐 Access
+
+After installation, access NetAlertX at:
+```
+http://[SERVER_IP]:[PORT]
+```
+
+## 🔒 Security Considerations
+
+### TMPFS Mounts
+- `/app/log` - Mounted as tmpfs (no persistent logs)
+- `/app/api` - Mounted as tmpfs (temporary API data)
+
+### File Permissions
+- Application files: `www-data:www-data` with appropriate permissions
+- NGINX runs as `www-data` user
+- Log directories: Secure permissions with tmpfs
+
+### Network Security
+- NGINX configured for internal network access
+- No external firewall rules added (configure manually if needed)
+
+## 🛠️ Troubleshooting
+
+### Common Issues
+
+#### 403 Forbidden Error
+```bash
+# Check file permissions
+ls -la /var/www/html/netalertx
+ls -la /app/front
+
+# Fix permissions
+chown -R www-data:www-data /app/front
+chmod -R 755 /app/front
+```
+
+#### Service Won't Start
+```bash
+# Check service status
+systemctl status netalertx
+
+# View detailed logs
+journalctl -u netalertx --no-pager -l
+
+# Check if port is in use
+ss -tlnp | grep :20211
+```
+
+#### GraphQL Connection Issues
+```bash
+# Check API token in config
+grep API_TOKEN /app/config/app.conf
+
+# Verify GraphQL port
+grep GRAPHQL_PORT /app/config/app.conf
+
+# Check backend logs
+tail -f /app/log/app.log
+```
+
+### Log Locations
+- **Service logs**: `journalctl -u netalertx`
+- **Application logs**: `/app/log/` (tmpfs)
+- **NGINX logs**: `/var/log/nginx/`
+- **PHP logs**: `/app/log/app.php_errors.log`
+
+### Manual Service Start
+If systemd service fails:
+```bash
+# Activate Python environment
+source /opt/myenv/bin/activate
+
+# Start manually
+cd /app
+python server/
+```
+or
+```
+./start.netalertx.sh
+```
+## 🔄 Updates
+
+### Updating NetAlertX
+```bash
+# Stop service
+systemctl stop netalertx
+
+# Update from repository
+cd /app
+git pull origin main
+
+# Restart service
+systemctl start netalertx
+```
+
+
