PiMox - NO IP address for alpine VM

[Shah]

Working mostly with dockerised dev and prod env, it's my new experience with Proxmox.
I installed RPi OS lite 64-bit on RPi4-8GB. Then I switched from dhcpcd to NetworkManager for networking. Afterwards I had to change a file

`/etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf`

and make

`managed=true`

for NetworkManager to read the configuration changes done in the file

`/etc/network/interfaces.new`

. Lastly, I installed Proxmox7 using PiMox successfully.
I intend to keep the footprint (both disk space and RAM) low and install Portainer on a newly created VM.
I created an alpine-virt-arm64-3_16 VM in proxmox but it doesn't seem to have any ip address.
Should I use some other linux distro or is there a way to add networking/ip address capabilities to the alpine VM I spawn from Proxmox7?
I'd appreciate any suggestions.

[SOLVED]
I used alpine-virt-arm64-3_16 VM in proxmox, installed docker on the Alpine VM and installed portainer on top of it. I just had use DHCP IP when trying to spin up the Alpine VM in proxmox7. Thanks all.
