📝 Provide a clear and concise description of the issue.

Hi I am having an issue with a Plex LXC. When I start it, it will run for a while then it will knock my entire proxmox host off the network. I can go to the host and get to the console, but it can't see the network at all. I try to restart networking, and that does not work. I can reboot and if the LXC is not set to autostart the Proxmox host will run fine. This is a brand new clean LXC install. I have not even configured it at this point. I tried recreating the LXC with the script and end up with the same issue. If I try a shutdown from the console it will hang. I have to do a complete hardware reboot to get the host back up.

🔄 Steps to reproduce the issue.

I can delete the LXC and run the script again. The new LXC will exhibit exactly the same issue.

Paste the full error output (if available).

No errors or logs, the proxmox hosts just disconnects from the network and I have to restart with a hardware reset.

🖼️ Additional context (optional).

here is the config I am using:

After investigation I am not entirely sure this is related to the script. It only started after I installed the script but there are reasons to believe it may be unrelated. Will reopen if I can nail down definitely that this is the script
