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.
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/realashleybailey/nginx-proxy-manager-lxc/main/create.sh | bash -s| argument | default | description |
|---|---|---|
| --id | $nextid | container id |
| --bridge | vmbr0 | bridge used for eth0 |
| --cores | 1 | number of cpu cores |
| --disksize | 2G | size of disk |
| --hostname | nginx-proxy-manager | hostname of the container |
| --memory | 512 | amount of memory |
| --storage | local-lvm | storage location for container disk |
| --templates | local | storage location for templates |
| --swap | 0 | amount of SWAP |
you can set these parameters by appending -- <parameter> <value> like:
curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/realashleybailey/nginx-proxy-manager-lxc/main/create.sh | bash -s -- --cores 4There is no login required to access the console from the Proxmox web UI. If you are presented with a blank screen, press CTRL + C to generate a prompt.
If you are not using proxmox or want to install this on a existing Alpine box, you can run the setup script itself.
Note: Only Alpine, Debian and Ubuntu are currently supported by this script
wget --no-cache -qO - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/realashleybailey/nginx-proxy-manager-lxc/main/setup.sh | sh
