📝 Provide a clear and concise description of the issue.

The page says:
" You can use it inside a running LXC container or directly on the Proxmox VE host to extend functionality with Tailscale."

But it seems the script wants to be run from the host only if I'm understanding correctly.

if ! command -v pveversion &>/dev/null; then
  msg_error "This script must be run on the Proxmox VE host (not inside an LXC container)"
  exit 1
fi

Please let me know if it's user error

🔄 Steps to reproduce the issue.

Setup debian LXC with helper scripts
Run tailscale script within that LXC

❌ Paste the full error output (if available).

✖ This script must be run on the Proxmox VE host (not inside an LXC container)

🖼️ Additional context (optional).

Nevermind, I see now after studying the script some more. I run it from the host and it gives me a list of LXCs to choose from.

Hey mate, I'm stuck here too. During the whiptail menu, I select a container but it keeps looping back to the menu, doesn't proceed further

Mine worked. So you see the list of containers but you pick and it asks again? Did you use the debian LXC script for the container you created? Shot in the dark, but are you hitting space to select the container before hitting enter?
