 This is a little bash script that aids in making custom proxmox container images. Automating the process of making them instead of having to create them manually
 
 ## How do I use it?
+Not quiet up to date, todo is update this:
+
 1. Copy the image-builder directory to your proxmox servers root users home directory
 2. Download the CT templates you wish to base your images on
 3. Copy settings.conf to for example debian-nginx-settings.conf
