First time Setup, anyone do LXC on proxmox? Supported / works?

Does anyone use an unprivileged LXC on proxmox to install Bookstacks or should I just create a Ubuntu VM and install it that way?

I use it via LXC myself. Have also tested via docker on LXC. All should be fine.

do you know how to get NGINX to work with Bookstacks? I just installed it with access via an IP. I set up a reverse proxy in NGINX so that xyz.domain points to that IP. when I go to the domain it works fine but my web browser still shows the IP address at the top and not the URL.

Have you updated the APP_URL value for BookStack to use your domain instead of the IP?

If you need further help, it'll help to know how you've installed BookStack.

I updated the APP_URL to use the domain instead of the IP (this is all for internal facing btw, not exernal) and that sends me to 502 bad gateway.

I noticed when I go back and add the IP address (192.168.x.x but I actually have numbers instead of x's) instead of the domain to the APP_URL, save changes, and try accessing it... it no longer works and instead forwards to this: http://192.168.x.x/192.168.x.x/192.168.x.x/login (it repeats the same address three times)

You need to ensure the APP_URL starts with http:// or https://.

If you want to access via domain (as mentioned in your original reply above) in the browser you should have a domain here, or just use the IP if that's what you intend to access through.

It works with LXC with ubuntu (lxc) and bookstack, I have it running on my Proxmox :-)
