Deploy LXC containers

ansible-playbook playbooks/deploy_lxc.yml --ask-become-pass

Note

--ask-become-pass is only required if you have additional configuration lines and your ansible user is not in the proxmox sudoer file.

For additional information see Proxmox docs

This script creates the lxc container on the designated proxmox node
