I know this has probably been discussed a lot, I have researched this and many responses are over my head.

So here we go. I installed my first Proxmox instance on a mini PC and I am running an LXC container running Turnkey Linux. In there, I have a Docker installed and a few Docker containers. So here is my main question. When I got to my Proxmox URL, or any sites in any of my containers, Google Chrome will not remember my passwords. I am assuming it is because of the "connection is not secure" issue.

I would like for Chrome (or anything for that matter) to be able to remember my passwords. I do not want to expose anything to the internet. A certificate seems to be the answer. Most things I see on this require a domain name and public internet access.

Also, whatever solution is suggested...will it work for every container/app on this Proxmox instance? Or does it need to be done for each unique IP?

I am new to this but catch on quickly, so responses that assume moderate knowledge of Proxmox will be wasted on me. I do have some Linux knowledge and can dig deeper if I get a particular direction.

Thank you.

That depends on the solution. There exist the solution with a wildcard certificate, which will work everywhere to self-signed certificates for each unique IP. So sorry, it does not restrict the solution space at all.

The problem is not PVE related, it's just SSL
 
A wildcard certificate would work. I have a Synology NAS with some Docker containers and it is using wildcard certificates. I did all this on the Synology via a GUI and instructions I found around the interwebs. So it was a quick "learn what I needed and move on" type scenario.
