🌟 Briefly describe the feature

Since firefly data importer is so important to many of its instances, it should be included as an option in the lxc install

📝 Detailed description

Following the docs https://docs.firefly-iii.org/how-to/data-importer/installation/self-managed/ I was able to do it, but couldn't help thinking this could've been added as part of the lxc

💡 Why is this useful?

Many users will take the path I did and install it manually, this would help those users

This can be included on "no warranty" basis. If it ever breaks, or breaks your Firefly, don't even think complaining to us. The LXC is already fragile enough

For future people looking to configure apache2, I changed /etc/apache2/sites-available/firefly.conf to

<VirtualHost *:80>
  ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
  DocumentRoot /opt/firefly/public/

  Alias /importer /var/www/data-importer/public

  <Directory /opt/firefly/public>
    Options FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride All
    Require all granted
  </Directory>

  <Directory /var/www/data-importer/public>
    AllowOverride All
    Require all granted
  </Directory>

  ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/error.log
  CustomLog /var/log/apache2/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

and restarted the apache2 service, then the importer is available at <your-domain>/importer
