Alpine - SSL Enviroment Variable - Using 'lxc-attach' instead of 'pct exec'

[pierretu]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When creating a new container using this scripts will fail on updating the CT with apk at line 187 pct exec "$EPS_CT_ID" -- ash -c "apk add bash >/dev/null".
As it turns out 'pct exec' sets 2 new variables in the new CT:

• SSL_CERT_DIR='/usr/lib/ssl/certs'
• SSL_CERT_FILE='/usr/lib/ssl/cert.pem'
  Thereby the new alpine ct does not update or complete the install as alpine certs are in /etc/ssl/cert.pem.

Describe the solution you'd like
According to https://bugzilla.proxmox.com/show_bug.cgi?id=5194#c4 one could use lxc-attach -n 134 -- apk update instead of pct exec 134 apk update to bypass this "bug".

Describe alternatives you've considered
Another alternative from changing the code is to wait for the upstream fix to be rolled out.

I see that the lxc-attach command is used when installing the app, but not under container creation.
Using
lxc-attach -n "$EPS_CT_ID" -- apk add bash >/dev/null
instead of
pct exec "$EPS_CT_ID" -- ash -c "apk add bash >/dev/null"
gets the script to run and start the update process.

Now I get an error on Openresty installation...

✔ Using LXC template: alpine-3.19-default_20240207_amd64.tar.xz
✔ LXC container 201 created successfully
✔ Operating System Updated
✔ Dependencies Installed
✔ Rust v1.74.0 Installed
✔ Python v3.11 and Pip v24.0 Installed
✘ Openresty not Installed

[ERROR] on line 153 with exit code 2 while executing command pkg_update

Do not know why the script /main/apps/nginx-proxy-manager/install.sh would cause that issue though.

EDIT: This error is due to Openresty not being updated to 3.19 :)
