Proxmox Node Systemd Service

This skill should be used when deploying a Node.js application (Next.js, n8n, or any pnpm/npm-based app) as a native systemd service inside an unprivileged Proxmox LXC, instead of Docker — installing Node via NodeSource, running a dedicated non-root service user, building with pnpm, and exposing it only over Tailscale Serve. Also covers debugging an Ansible playbook for this pattern that never reports `changed=0` on a repeat run, a "detected dubious ownership in repository" git error, a service that's unexpectedly reachable on the plain LAN IP instead of only over Tailscale, or an app that fails to write scratch/upload files under `/tmp` despite the service showing active. Trigger phrases include "run Node app as systemd service", "NodeSource install Ansible", "pnpm build systemd", "next start binds 0.0.0.0", "HOSTNAME env var not working Next.js", "ansible git dubious ownership", "git module changed every run", "recursive chown always changed ansible", "Docker-in-LXC alternative for Node app", "ProtectSystem strict /tmp ENOENT", "PrivateTmp systemd Node app", "npm install -g version bump not applying", "creates guard blocks upgrade", "bumping n8n_version does nothing", "ansible pinned npm package upgrade".
