I am trying to install Alta Control in Proxmox as an LXC container. I’ve seen that some users have been successful with the installation, but I haven’t been able to get it working so far.
I followed the LXD installation guide, but I’m unable to execute the command lxc image import. I also tried importing the image directly into Proxmox and creating a container from it, but that doesn’t work either, as I encounter an error during the container creation process.
I’m not a Proxmox expert and have only been testing it out in a VirtualBox installation on my Mac but, having said that, I did manage to get an Alta Control container up and running.
As far as I’m aware Proxmox can’t easily use the LXD container linked in the Alta Control PDF installation guide. I used the “raw root filesystem” tar.gz file linked under “Notes” on the Docker instruction page here.
I selected my local storage in Proxmox, created a CT Template using the .tar.gz linked above and then was able to create a container using the newly created template. That got me a working container.
I can’t guarantee how well it works beyond that as I’m just testing out Proxmox at the moment.
Thanks a lot for your response! I was able to successfully create the LXC container using the method you mentioned, with the raw root filesystem tar.gz file. That worked much better than I expected.
The only issue I encountered is that the IP configuration wasn’t automatically applied when creating the container, so I had to manually set the IP details using netplan. Once I did that, everything seemed to work fine.
