[pve-devel] [PATCH container 7/9] configure static IP in LXC config for custom entrypoint

[Filip Schauer]

When a container uses the default `/sbin/init` entrypoint, network
interface configuration is usually managed by processes within the
container. However, containers with a different entrypoint might not
have any internal network management process. Consequently, IP addresses
might not be assigned.

This change ensures that a static IP address is explicitly set in the
LXC config for the container.
