Flockport lxc containers on proxmox 4.2?

[forlorn1]

So I'm fairly new to both Proxmox and LXC containers in general, so maybe this is asking for the impossible, but is there a way to use Flockport LXC containers with Proxmox 4.2. Or a way to convert.

Specifically I'd like to spin up a gitlab instance, which Flockport has. But I get a "TASK ERROR: unable to detect OS distribution" even after renaming the gitlab.tar.xz file over to debian-7.0-gitlab_7.0-3_amd64.tar.xz, which I think matches the Proxmox standard.

A way to import containers like this would be a huge win for everyone....

Is it possible to download that without having an account?

I'm interested in this too. Here's a link to a flockport mailbox container:-

(They allow distribution)

Thanks,

Jake.

Yeah and they seem out of date and not maintained anyway. Turnkey for the win...
Someone needs to make a decent mail server appliance though, dunno why Turnkey don't do that...
