Thanks, Alex!

The first thing would be to look at [Discourse official Standard Installation](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-official-standard-installation/142537), but looking at what Proxmox is, I think the answer is “ask them.” If you search, though, you can find [Trying to install Discourse in an Ubuntu VM on Proxmox](https://meta.discourse.org/t/trying-to-install-discourse-in-an-ubuntu-vm-on-proxmox/113703)
