📋 Script Details
Adds a minimal Debian 13 LXC for NextDNS CLI:
Installs the official package from repo.nextdns.io via setup_deb822_repo
Prompts for the NextDNS Profile ID during install (or accepts var_nextdns_profile for unattended runs)
Runs nextdns install -profile -report-client-info -setup-router so the CT is fully configured when setup finishes
Serves DNS on TCP/UDP port 53 (no local web UI; profiles managed at https://my.nextdns.io/)
Resources: 1 CPU / 512 MB RAM / 2 GB disk — category 5 (Adblock and DNS)

The NextDNS script is ready for testing:
During install you will be asked for your NextDNS profile ID (or pass var_nextdns_profile). The script runs: nextdns install -profile -report-client-info -setup-router
Create or copy your profile ID from https://my.nextdns.io before running the script.
After install, NextDNS listens on TCP/UDP port 53. Point DHCP clients at the container IP:53, or set the container as upstream DNS on your router. There is no local web UI (profiles are managed at my.nextdns.io).
Router mode (-setup-router) makes this LXC the DNS server for your network.
Updates use the official NextDNS apt repository (repo.nextdns.io). Run the container update script or apt upgrade inside the LXC.
Note: This is not in the official repo yet—it's just a dev version! After merging into ProxmoxVE, it will need to be recreated.
