Here is a small tutorial on how I setup Edomi in a Proxmox LXC container. I am no expert in this what so ever and other users may have a better way...
I used to run Edomi in a virtual machine but had some problems due to slow hardware. With an LXC container, it’s now running perfect without any problems as it is essentially running on the hardware directly. It also uses a lot less memory, around 350MB in LXC compared to almost 2GB in a virtual machine in my case….
Everything I have tried seems to be working great except the Console window in the Edomi admin page (not really a problem since you can open the console in Proxmox).
This is using Proxmox version 5.2.
You need to download the correct container template first.

Then create LXC Container.
Decide if you want to run as a privileged or unprivileged container. Privileged=less problems but less secure...
If you run as unprivileged container you will get some error messages about board serial and product_uuid. I don't think it should matter, but not sure.

Select correct template.

Do not change any of the network settings.

After it's created, change some of the settings.

Then start the Container and select correct Console type (this is so we can copy/paste later)

Now login as root and then:
Copy file for correct timezone using command "cp /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Berlin /etc/localtime". Confirm overwrite with yes.
Check with "date" command to confirm correct timezone.
Then update system with "yum -y update".
Install some small programs we need with "yum install -y wget unzip nano".
*If you decide to run as unprivileged container edit tty.conf as below
To get rid of annoying error message in console, run "nano /etc/init/tty.conf"
Comment out/change to:
#respawn
#instance $TTY
#exec /sbin/mingetty $TTY
Ctrl-O to save and Ctrl-X to exit nano.
Download Edomi with command "wget https://srv-file7.gofile.io/download...I-Beta_162.zip "
Unzip Edomi with command "unzip EDOMI-Beta_162.zip"
Run command "chmod 777 edomi/ -R" to set correct privileges.
Change directory with "cd edomi/Install"
Make backup of install script with "mv install.sh install.sh.bak"
Now we need to make new install script with command "nano install.sh"
Copy text from script file https://drive.google.com/open?id=0Bx...GY0UHU2SWNMbzA into newly created install.sh
Ctrl-O to write and Ctrl-X to exit nano.
Run command "chmod 777 install.sh" to set correct privileges.
And finally run "sh install.sh" to install Edomi as normal and start playing...
A big thanks to Christian for creating this fantastic software.
