# AlmalinuxOS LXC Installation

On the Proxmox web interface, click on the 
button to create a new **LXC** (Linux container).
Fill the form with the hostname, passwords and the tag, then click on `Next`
Then choose the almalinux image and click on `Next`
Set the disk configuration and click on `Next`
Keep a single CPU and click on `Next`
Set the **RAM** at `1024MB` and the **SWAP** at `512MB` and click on `Next`
Set the network at `vmbr4` corresponding to the **DMZ** interface and check `DHCP` on **IPv4**, then click on `Next`
Set the **Domain** to `infrasi.lan` and keep the **DNS** to the default value, then click on `Next`
Click on `Finish` to validate the configurations and create the **LXC**
When it is finished, you can close the window
Now we can see our newly created **LXC** appear, and going to **Network**, we can take note of its **MAC address** to add it to the static leases in the **DMZ DHCP** on **pfSense**
To add it to the static leases, go to **Services > DHCP Server > DMZ** and click on `Add` at the bottom of the page, then fill the form like the following image
Then you can click on 
and then on 
to start the **LXC**. When the system has booted, log in as `root` with the password provided in the creation form.
Now that we are logged in, we can run the initial setup script:
```bash
#!/bin/bash
# update all packages and upgrade system
dnf update -y && dnf upgrade -y
# install basic and usefull packages
dnf install -y vim tar git wget bind-utils net-tools openssh-server
# add manager user with sudo privileges and modify the password
adduser manager
usermod -aG wheel manager
passwd manager
# start SSH server and enable it at boot
service sshd start && systemctl enable sshd
```
The only thing to do will be to type the manager's password when asked. All the rest is automatic.
After the upgrade from Almalinux 9.4 to Almalinux 9.6, reboot the **LXC** with the `reboot` command.
Now the **LXC** is setup and accessible via **SSH** using the **IP address** specified in **pfSense**.
