Description

Hi Team

I have created a new installation using the LXC image.
During creation in Proxmox I could define to use a static IP address instead of DHCP.

After finishing the installation the defined static IP is not used by Nextcloudpi. The container picks an free IP via DHCP.

In the "normal" installation on a raspberry pi I could change that via ncp -> static ip. Within the LXC installation this option dosn't exist.

Research direction

Begin with the LXC image setup in Proxmox and compare it with the Raspberry Pi path where ncp -> static ip exists. Reproduce the installation with a defined static address; done means the LXC container retains that address instead of requesting one from DHCP.
