Thank you! I was putting off installing Flaresolverr until I stumbled upon your video. You were straight forward but informative at the same time. It really helped that you explained yourself along the way. Cheers.

Finally, the Holy Grail of LXC containerization!

[xspance]

awesome vid, I made this manually however there is an LXC container on helper-scripts now.

[cjmoss]

If you shipped Flaresolverr with Docker then it should start everytime you boot the container. This keeps you from having to create a service to tell it to start when you start the continer as docker would automatically do that even if you havent logged in. The most beautiful thing about Proxmox and its LXCs is that Docker can be orchestrated within it the same way it would within or ourside a VM and both are super light.

[fiveangle]

I've found that LXC's often vault far above their avg RAM usage, likely from system calls that result in user-space process launches, but it has been a big headache with netprobe monitoring, requiring me to basically FAR over-allocate RAM to my individual LXCs in order to prevent being spammed by netprobe by false-positives. So now, only when an LXC is *GROSSLY* overusing RAM am I alerted. It would be cool to campaign with the LXC team an improvement to have the most common Proxmox/Ubuntu kernel system calls that eventually hit user-space to be allocated from an overall shared RAM space for all LXC containers rather than on a per-container basis, so that we can more effectively monitor LXCs for unexpected RAM use.

But YES, completely agree that unless a distro has a custom kernel or cannot run in Unprivileged mode, it's completely wasteful to use VM. LXC: It is the way...

i would suggest you to just docker compose it, that way you dont have to do all of this. Also you can use tags in prowler to define which indexers should use the flaresolver route cause not all indexers need it.
Thanks for the video and other proxmox content

[dcsubie]

This was a really good video. I can’t get prowlerr to use the indexer proxy. It always shows disabled. I saw I need tags but I am unable to add tags.

[fvgoya]

I wish to use more LXC container but for me, the biggest “issue” is the fact is not so easy attach disks (HDD/SSD) to unprivileged container. I have a VM with a disk attached and samba installed. I wish to share a shared folder from this samba to the container. I don’t want attach the disk to the Proxmox host and mp the folder. At least with VM share folders is way more flexible.

[AkhiSyahmi_]

You set that container as dhcp, will it use a different ip if your server shut down/power outage etc?

[EddieArgenals]

Beginner here, how do you ensure the lxcs in the llan renew their dhcp leases?

[CharizardSnyper]

Don't know if you will read this or not, but how would you run something like authentik that doesn't have Linux instructions in their docs? I've cloned the repo, set up the config file and postgres db but I can't install the requirement.txt because it's not available in the repo.

[Maisonier]

Amazing video!! liked, subscribed and shared.

[gionag]

enable --now (enable and starts at the same time)

[iron-man]

Now just teach us how to export this lxc to use it later like we do with docker images please

[ZloBN]

I couldn't spin it off on Debian 12, venv, systemd issues.

[kiranm]

Which Linux distribution are you currently using?

[BeardedTaz-Official]

Well, I apparently am having some issues with this one. Was fine as long as I am not connected to virt01. If I am connected to port vert0 I can pull everything. Not sure if that's due to my vpn potentially not working right on the openwrt side, etc. Going to have to pick someone's brain.

[JonathanScottNZ]

I see there is now a FlareSoverr Helper Script, anyone tried that yet?

[Chris-lkj]

Im a noob for the apt update. I typed all of you tyoed and it doesn't work

This looked very scary (28GB/8MB):
WARNING: Sum of all thin volume sizes (28.00 GiB) exceeds the size of thin pool pve/data and the amount of free space in volume group (8.00 MiB)
