Argusic could not get ProxmoxVE running. An Argusic agent installed it in 10 minutes and hit no errors on a clean machine with no GPU, and the whole session was recorded.
All 1304 shell scripts and 10 core .func library files pass syntax validation; core libraries (core.func, api.func, error_handler.func, build.func) load and execute correctly with all functions defined; the repository cannot run end-to-end without a Proxmox VE host, but every script in the repo is syntactically valid.
What the agent ended up with on a clean machine, in its own words. How this is measured
Measured by Argusic on a fresh machine every time. Every number links to its evidence. Argusic Score 65 of 100 (the mean of this project's run scores).
At a glance
Subject data from GitHub, linked at the top of this page, refreshed . Test data by Argusic (CC BY 4.0); every number links to a run page with the full log, the recording, and their sha256 hashes.
What was measured
From the run that decided this verdict. Every line is a recorded value, not an estimate.
- Install time
- 10 minutes
- Cold machine to finish
- 10 minutes
- Errors hit and fixed
- 0 hit, 0 fixed with no human help
- How the result was proved
- bash -n on all 1304 .sh and 10 .func files passed with zero failures; core libraries sourced and msg_info/msg_ok/variables/build_container functions verified working; ShellCheck on misc/core.func misc/install.func misc/error_handler.func misc/api.func misc/build.func misc/tools.func misc/vm-core.func misc/cloud-init.func misc/alpine-install.func misc/alpine-tools.func found no errors (only style/info/warnings); .github/workflows/scripts/generate-app-headers.sh also validated

What was not measured
The other half, so you can see exactly how far this evidence goes. A gap is printed as a gap and never filled in.
- Peak GPU memory
- this ran on a CPU machine, so there was no GPU to sample
- Behaviour over a long run
- each attempt uses the smallest documented settings and a fixed time budget, so this measures whether it runs, not how it holds up under load
- Whether it works at all
- this run verified nothing, so this page makes no claim either way

All verification is complete. Here's a summary of the findings.Replay the whole session, every command from a clean machine to this point.
How it was tested
One agent, one container, no human help. It installs the project the way its own documentation says to, runs it, and fixes what breaks. Everything below is recorded as it happened: the terminal session, the log and the exact commit. The full method.
Strengths and limits
Measured facts, not opinions. How this is written.
What went well
- Installed in 10 minutes.
- Nothing broke on the way: zero errors between clone and running.
- Licensed MIT, as reported by its host.
- Measured 2 times, so the result is not a one-off.
What did not, or is not known
- An agent with no time limit did not get it running.
Also tested, in the same area
Every one of these was installed and run by Argusic on a clean machine. Nothing appears here that was not tested.

[](https://argusic.com/subject/proxmoxve)Questions
- Does ProxmoxVE run?
- Argusic could not verify that ProxmoxVE runs. Argusic installed and launched it on a clean machine in 10 minutes, hitting 0 errors on the way, and recorded the session.
- How did Argusic test ProxmoxVE?
- On a fresh, disposable machine, with every command recorded and the repository pinned at commit ac446889250b. 2 attempts are recorded, and the full method is on the methodology page.
- What did it cost to test ProxmoxVE?
- The run that produced this verdict cost $0.03: real compute and model cost, not a list price per million tokens. It is recorded on that run's page.
- How long does ProxmoxVE take to install?
- 10 minutes in the run that decided this verdict, from a clean machine to a running state. That is one measured attempt, not an average.
- Does ProxmoxVE need a GPU?
- Not to start. Argusic reached a running state on a machine with no GPU.
- What goes wrong when installing ProxmoxVE?
- Nothing did, in the recorded run: zero errors between clone and running.
- Where is the evidence for ProxmoxVE?
- All 2 recorded runs are on this page, each linking to its full log and terminal recording, stored with a sha256 fingerprint so it cannot be quietly altered.
