### What the curl command does (when you run `curl URL | bash`):

```
curl -sSL https://git.innovator.bh/TAKEONE/proxmox-lxc-dotnet-postgres-api/raw/branch/main/install.sh | bash
```

- Downloads your installation script (`install.sh`) from your Git repository.
- Executes the script immediately in the shell (`bash`).
- The script itself will:
  - Update system packages.
  - Install prerequisites, .NET 8 runtime and SDK.
  - Install PostgreSQL and start its service.
  - Create PostgreSQL user (`api`) and database (`apidatabase`) with password `abcd1234`.
  - Create and prepare the `/opt/api` directory.
  - Create a systemd service unit to run your .NET Web API DLL.
  - Enable and start the systemd service automatically.

***

### What remains for you to do manually:

- Copy your published .NET Web API application files (DLL, `appsettings.json`, etc.) into the directory `/opt/api`. The script pauses and waits for you to do this before continuing.
- Optionally, customize the script or paths if your setup differs.
- Test your API endpoints with curl or Postman after service starts.
- Optionally configure reverse proxy, firewalls, or SSL certificates if needed.
