Subject: [PATCH proxmox-datacenter-manager] docs: install: add container-metapackage
Date: Thu, 28 May 2026 14:31:15 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260528123142.484432-1-s.ivanov@proxmox.com> (raw)

while installing on top of a plain debian container following the docs
I noticed that the proxmox-default-kernel got pulled in.
This is the result of adding the proxmox-datacenter-manager-meta as
Recommends in:
748aad6c ("d/control: recommend installing meta package")
(to ensure users pulled that in when upgrading from the beta)

As there is now a proxmox-datacenter-manager-container-meta package
available which covers the case of containers/sticking with the
existing kernel:
25ab21e (add proxmox-datacenter-manager-container-meta)
use that in our documentation accordingly.
