📝 Provide a clear and concise description of the issue.

I needed an FTP/SFTP server, so I went to the Community Scripts page and followed the instructions from:
https://community-scripts.github.io/ProxmoxVE/scripts?id=sftpgo&category=Files+%26+Downloads

I ran the following command exactly as shown:

bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/community-scripts/ProxmoxVE/main/ct/sftpgo.sh)"

All other community scripts (over 20 of them) run successfully on my setup, but this one fails during container creation.

The output ends with:

Container creation failed. Checking if template is corrupted or incomplete.
✖️ Template is valid, but container creation still failed.
[ERROR] in line 1152: exit code 0

🔄 Steps to reproduce the issue.

1- Go to the Community Scripts page for SFTPGo:
https://community-scripts.github.io/ProxmoxVE/scripts?id=sftpgo&category=Files+%26+Downloads

2- Copy the installation command shown there.

3 - Run it on a Proxmox VE 9.x host (as root):

bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/community-scripts/ProxmoxVE/main/ct/sftpgo.sh)"

4 - Wait for the script to reach the container creation stage.

5 - Observe that it fails with the following messages:
