Nginx Proxy Manager in Proxmox LXC container
Many benefits can be gained by using a LXC container compared to a VM. The resources needed to run a LXC container are less than running a VM. Modifing the resouces assigned to the LXC container can be done without having to reboot the container. The serial devices connected to Proxmox can be shared with multiple LXC containers simulatenously.
Usage
To create a new LXC container on Proxmox and setup Nginx Proxy Manager to run inside of it, run the following in a SSH connection or the Proxmox web shell.
Note: tested with proxmox 6.4+ Note: This will create alpine container
curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ej52/proxmox/main/lxc/nginx-proxy-manager/create.sh | bash -s
