Proxmox install script fails when it attempts to create /app/api directory as Git has already created it as a symlink to /tmp/api

[leeatkinson]

What installation are you running?

Production (netalertx) 📦

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing open and closed issues and I checked the docs https://docs.netalertx.com/

The issue occurs in the following browsers. Select at least 2.

• Firefox
• Chrome
• Edge
• Safari (unsupported) - PRs welcome
• N/A - This is an issue with the backend

Current Behavior

When running:
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/netalertx/NetAlertX/refs/heads/main/install/proxmox/proxmox-install-netalertx.sh -O proxmox-install-netalertx.sh && chmod +x proxmox-install-netalertx.sh && ./proxmox-install-netalertx.sh

...in Proxmox Debian LXC container, the script will fail with:
mkdir: cannot create directory ‘/app/api’: File exists

This is because /app/api has already been created as a symlink to /tmp/api by Git.

Expected Behavior

Installation on Proxmox LXC container to suceed.

Steps To Reproduce

1. Create Debian LXC container (I used https://community-scripts.org/scripts/debian)
2. Run wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/netalertx/NetAlertX/refs/heads/main/install/proxmox/proxmox-install-netalertx.sh -O proxmox-install-netalertx.sh && chmod +x proxmox-install-netalertx.sh && ./proxmox-install-netalertx.sh
3. Monitor output
