Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/amidaware/tacticalrmm/issues/2151

OS: Debian 12
RMM Version v0.20.1
Standard install

server install.sh
At the generate passwords section
cat /dev/urandom runs on forever, so the install stops at this point

DJANGO_SEKRET=$(cat /dev/urandom | tr -dc 'a-zA-Z0-9' | fold -w 80 | head -n 1)

Changing the first cat to head works around this issue.

got it, LXC is not officially supported which is why you're having so many issues with the installl script. please use a VM instead.
