  * Try to change this line: <file bash>
    lxc.cgroup.devices.allow: c 188:* rwm
</file>    

to:

  * <file bash>
lxc.cgroup2.devices.allow: c 188:* rwm
</file>

  * This is needed because Proxmox 7 uses the new default [[https://pve.proxmox.com/pve-docs/chapter-pct.html#pct_cgroup_compat|cgroup version 2]].
