Hi all, I'm brand new to proxmox VE, so please be patient with me.
I have it set up running HAOS, influx dB, Grafana and mqtt quite successfully at the moment.
My next step is to try and ingest octopus energy API data into influx dB.
I'd like to try This method on Git Hub.
My problem is I want to use my existing Influx DB and Grafana instances where this suggests running them all in one container.
So, I want to run just the python element in a separate VM or LXC in proxmox VE.
What is the best way to go about this?
Should I setup an OS (which one) in a VM or LXC and install Python in that?
I notice from the Proxmox root shell that it already has Python3 and pip3 installed. Could/should I make use of that somehow?
Any pointers and advice greatly appreciated.
