Original Pull Request: https://github.com/community-scripts/ProxmoxVE/pull/4906

State: closed
Merged: Yes

✍️ Description

-- wait for core.func merge --

This script provides a safe and automated way to convert Proxmox LXC containers between unprivileged and privileged modes using a backup/restore workflow.

✅ Features

  • Interactive selection of the source container
  • Automatic backup via vzdump to a selected backup storage
  • Interactive selection of target storage for the restored container
  • Auto-suggestion of the next available container ID
  • Supports converting:
    • 🔒 Unprivileged → Privileged
    • 🔓 Privileged → Unprivileged
  • Preserves container configuration and restores from .tar.zst archive
  • Optional shutdown of the source container and start of the new one
  • Optional deletion of the temporary backup archive
  • Fully styled msg_custom output with clear and structured summary

💡 Example Workflow

  1. Select source container
  2. Choose backup storage
  3. Backup is created using vzdump
  4. Choose target storage and set new container ID
  5. Container is restored in the desired privilege mode
  6. Source can be shut down, and new container started
  7. Optional cleanup of the archive

📦 Output Example

📄 Summary:
   Original Container:     106 (debian)
   Backup Storage:         local
   Target Storage:         local-lvm
   Backup Path:            /var/lib/vz/dump/vzdump-lxc-106-2025_06_02-09_58_41.tar.zst
   New Container ID:       109
   Privilege Conversion:   Unprivileged → Privileged
