Hey everyone! I'm a bit of a newcomer to Linux and I'm trying to set up Portainer on my Debian VM. The problem is that it seems to be missing the "software-properties-common" package, which stops my installation process right in its tracks. I want to learn how to do this properly since I'm also running Proxmox and could switch to another Linux distribution if necessary, but I'd prefer to stick with Debian for now. Any advice or solutions for getting past this issue? Thanks!

It sounds like you might be trying to install Portainer directly on your Proxmox host instead of inside a VM. Make sure you're operating within your Debian VM for the installation. If you need a guide, check out this one: [link]. It'll help you through the process of setting up Docker and Portainer.
Got it, I thought I was going wrong by running everything on the host. Will look into that guide!
Thanks for the tip! I’m definitely using a Debian VM for this. Just started out with Proxmox and it's all pretty new for me.
