My experiment of the day today was installing Scanopy (formerly NetVisor) on Proxmox as an LXC (from helper-scripts) for testing. It takes a little configuring, but it's a pretty interesting service. The initial scan of my network has not finished yet, but I did export a preliminary diagram. So much easier than manually crafting diagrams.

Hello All, I just wanted to share an error that I have vbeen receiving when trying to start new or restart exisiting docker containers within containers. The error is: net.ipv4.ip_unprivileged_port_start error From what I have seen this is an error that derives from apt update && apt upgrade executed on containers running docker/docker compose. Using my "less important" proxmox hypervisor server I completed a full update and upgrade of the main proxmox environment. I then retried starting the docker container, in my case a docker compose deried container, and the error mentioned had then been resolved. Something that may be helpful to you and want to be aware of if you dont update the main proxmox environment regularly.
