After he notified the community that he is in hospice care a few weeks ago, his wife has now notified the community that TTeck, the founder of the Proxmox Helper Scripts, has sadly passed away.

The project has been transferred to the community earlier so the Proxmox Helper Scripts as TTeck's legacy will live on.

Only a few people have contributed so much to Open Source as his scripts were a gateway for a lot of people who then ventured into self hosting an then onwards into an IT career.

He helped me so much. I learned an absolute ton because he gave me an easy and safe path to explore. RIP.

This was ONE GUY??? What a legend! I hope his family knows the giant positive impact he's had on so many people, and is able to find some sort of comfort knowing he will be missed by so many strangers. A true tragedy.

I absolutely LOVE that one. One of my all time favorites.

A sad news. Condolences to his family. May his legacy continue to inspire others as he did.

My first proxmox containers with Pihole, Nextcloud, and all sorts of others were from him. Legend. Naming my Nextcloud instance after him.

That's a shame. TTeck pretty much built my Homelab.

Rest in peace, Hero

It's so sad when we all find these critical components are maintained by someone we'd just pass in the street... and then they're gone.

Lovely to see the contributions on ko-fi

I wonder if there's a place, that people could be memorialized, their contributions attributed. People can pass by, and leave a token of remembrance. Like a dev graveyard. Sounds like a great idea to me

RIP from England. Those scripts helped me through some tough times when first trying proxmox, I remember being so happy to find them. I wouldn't have stayed on proxmox without them

[–] jjlinux@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 years ago

This is indeed sad news. I'll forever be grateful to him. He made the door that got me through into Proxmox. God rest his soul.

RIP what a hero. Anyone know of a replacement? Will these eventually stop working?

He did pass the repo to the community (thus the repo not being on tteck) before he passed away so it will be maintained.
