Thats not an vikunja issue, the script failed, because there are some problems on your proxmox node with the container id or something else.

Reboot your Proxmox and test again

Rebooting didn't help but I am seeing the same error trying a different script. Any advice on how to debug this?

Which version of Proxmox VE? With which user do you run the script? Do you run the script in Main-Node?

nano /etc/subuid
nano /etc/subgid

Whats the output?

Got it fixed. There was a leftover folder in /var/lib/lxc with incorrect permissions that matched the new id I was trying to use. Deleting that folder and allowing it to be recreated worked. Thanks for the help.
