I've been trying to get my Nortek controller to mount within a container. I have seen many posts here and elsewhere with similar issues, but I can't find a solution that works for me I'm running PiMox on an Rpi4 with 8GB ram. I found some helper scripts for Proxmox here: Proxmox helper scripts
The zwave container script failed to mount the controller, either priviledged or not.
I found a post here: Mounting Aeotec z wave controller.
This seems to have brought me forward, but I'm dead in the water at this point. I tried to start the container using lxc-start. I set log priority to DEBUG and here is a portion of the log. It appears that the container is setup, but exec'ing /sbin/init' fails. Any ideas would be appreciated.
