Added a section for Proxmox VMs and LXCs with setup instructions.
Updated the installation guide to include details about self-signed HTTPS reverse proxy and Linux service for automatic startup.

Hello @SimplyProgrammer If there are some required assets, feel free to include them too. You can reference a link for the source but we would like all the guides to stay on the invidious doc repo for archival reasons. |
Added prerequisites and installation instructions for Invidious setup in Proxmox.

Hello @unixfox, thanks for the reply. If I understand you correctly, I should include the tutorial part directly into the docs. I was considering that up front, but I was worried that it would complicate potential future updates or needed adjustments. But yea doing so with the link to the original included seems reasonable. But direct inclusion of everything into the documentation is I think, unreasonable since assets/other dependencies are numerous and long, which would make the guide messy. I hope that the one-line script that is used to clone and set up everything should be sufficient. I have already added the tutorial part, let me know if it would be okay like that. |
I have recently tried to self-host Invidious with the popular virtualization platform Proxmox, which uses LXC containers or VMs.
However, I found no existing solutions that would be satisfactory and Invidious docs also have no mention of Proxmox or LXC containers.
So I have created this guide with setup scripts https://github.com/SimplyProgrammer/Invidious-podman-LXC-VM
It was tested with Proxmox 9+ and Debian 13 LXC container, it seems to work fine.
Please review it when needed and consider adding it as part of comunity docs.
I believe it could help quite a few people.
