Nightscout #1304
Description
Name of the Script
Nightscout
Script Type
CT (LXC Container)
📋 Script Details
Nightscout, an open-source CGM (Continuous Glucose Monitor) remote monitor.
Nightscout is a critical tool for type 1 diabetics and their caregivers, allowing real-time visualization of glucose data from pumps (like Medtronic) and sensors (Dexcom, Libre) on any device.
As a diabetic myself, I built this to enable an easy, self-hosted deployment on Proxmox without relying on paid cloud services.

do you use it productive? where are the files stored? because its an npm app, and we dont do an CLEAN_INSTALL in update yet. That can cause issues, if node files in an newer release are removed, they are still exist in the folder and can break the npm install.
if there is an folder, we should move it before update, then an clean install and move it back.

The nightscout script is ready for testing:
bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://github.com/community-scripts/ProxmoxVED/raw/main/ct/nightscout.sh)"Nightscout requires configuring
my.envwith your Mongo connection string. API_SECRET has been generated and saved to~/nightscout.creds.Edit
/opt/nightscout/my.envto configure your CGM source (Dexcom/CareLink). Then run:systemctl restart nightscoutOfficial Configuration Guide: https://nightscout.github.io/nightscout/setup_variables/
Nightscout requires HTTPS for many features (security, tokens, PWA). Usage of a reverse proxy (e.g. Nginx Proxy Manager, Traefik, Caddy) is highly recommended.
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.

I’ve been using the software in my proxmox server since I opened this Merge Request, and it has been stable so far.
Regarding the update logic: I understand your concern about NPM installations. This weekend, I will check if a clean install is strictly necessary and, if so, I will implement it properly.
