Hello,
I created a minimal lxc container using the lxc busybox template and modified it to start/restart my service.
It works fine on my development pc using lxc-start and lxc-stop.
However, if I try to run it on my proxmox server as a Linux container if fails with the message that OS Type could not be detected. How can I get Proxmox to add my container image?

Sincerely, Thalhammer
 
When adding via `pct` try using `--ostype unmanaged`
 
Thanks, this worked.
However it would be cool if it could be done via the gui or HTTP API.
