The Gentoo script is ready for testing:

bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://github.com/community-scripts/ProxmoxVED/raw/main/ct/gentoo.sh)"

Default credentials:
Username: root

Gentoo compiles packages from source, so software installation may take time.

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.
