 !!Tip ->!! To run Debian 10/11 in a LXC container on Proxmox 6/7/8, you need to enable "Nesting" under "Options/Features", otherwise you'll end up getting "Permission denied" errors when starting several services (e.g. apache2, ntp). Creating a Flash Image does **not** work in a LXC container (you need a "full" VM for this)! !!Tip ->!!

 +!!Tip ->!! There seems to be a problem when running the "Linux Build System" in Proxmox as __LXC container__ **AND** __on a ZFS filesystem__. If you get errors like this:
 +  genext2fs: couldn't allocate a block (no free space)
 +although there is plenty of free space. It doesn't happen when running the filesystem on LVM or LVM-thin.
