Hello Proxmox Network Gurus 
I need your advice. I am stuck with 1 public ip on a Proxmox host, so I am using a bridge and NAT port forwarding to a single container.
Taking port 80 as an example, this rule in iptables is doing the forwarding from the host's public ip to the container's internal ip: 192.168.4.2 and is working just fine.
Currently though, the container is blinded to the host's public ip address and has no awareness of it. As a result, some apps in the container are unable to write to a file inside the container when using the public ip address. Apparently, I need NAT reflection / loopback rules for port 80 on the host. What would / should these rules look like on the basis of the above info?
Thanks.
Norman
