I’m doing this from memory, so google will help you verify, but there’s an option in /etc/systemd/logind.conf that should help. Uncomment the line about HandleLidSwitch=suspend and change suspend to ignore. Save and close that and restart systemd-logind and you should be in business.

The subsequent step involves executing the included security script. This script modifies certain default options that are less secure. Our purpose for running it is to prevent remote root logins and eliminate unnecessary database users.
Run the security script:
>>mysql_secure_installation
Enter current password for root (enter for none): enter
Switch to unix_socket authentication [Y/n] y
Change the root password? [Y/n] n
Remove anonymous users? [Y/n] y
Disallow root login remotely? [Y/n] y
Remove test database and access to it? [Y/n] y
Reload privilege tables now? [Y/n] y
We will create a new account called admin with the same capabilities as the root account, but configured for password authentication.
>>mysql
Prompt will change to MariaDB [(none)]>
Create a new local admin (Change the username and password to match your preferences)
>>CREATE USER 'admin'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
>>CREATE USER 'admin'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'salzbrezel';
Give local admin root privileges (Change the username and password to match above)
>>GRANT ALL ON *.* TO 'admin'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'salzbrezel' WITH GRANT OPTION;
Now, we'll give the user admin root privileges and password-based access that can connect from anywhere on your local area network (LAN), which has addresses in the subnet 192.168.100.0/24. This is an improvement because opening a MariaDB server up to the Internet and granting access to all hosts is bad practice.. Change the username, password and subnet to match your preferences:
>>GRANT ALL ON *.* TO 'admin'@'192.168.178.%' IDENTIFIED BY 'salzbrezel' WITH GRANT OPTION;
Flush the privileges to ensure that they are saved and available in the current session:
>>FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
command below this, exit the MariaDB shell:
>>exit
Log in as the new database user you just created:
>>mysql -u admin -p
Create a new database:
>>CREATE DATABASE homeassistant;
command below this, exit the MariaDB shell:
>>exit
⚠️ Reboot the lxc
Checking status.
>>systemctl status mariadb

Delaying Container Startup Time
Select the MariaDB container on the left
Click Options in the middle column
Double click Start/Shutdown order
Set Start/Shutdown order: 1
Set Startup Delay: 240
This setting essentially tells Proxmox that the MariaDB LXC needs to be started before any other VMs or Containers. It also sets a 240 seconds delay for starting subsequent containers. LXCs without a Start/Shutdown order parameter will always start after those where the parameter is set.

GPU underclock & undervolt
https://graphicsreport.com/how-to-underclock-gpu/
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/NVIDIA/Tips_and_tricks#Enabling_overclocking
Note:
Overclocking settings cannot be applied if the Xorg server is running in rootless mode. Consider running Xorg as root.
Enabling DRM kernel mode setting may cause overclocking to become unavailable, regardless of the Coolbits value.
Overclocking is controlled via Coolbits option in the Device section, which enables various unsupported features:
Option "Coolbits" "value"
Tip: The Coolbits option can be easily controlled with the nvidia-xconfig, which manipulates the Xorg configuration files:
# nvidia-xconfig --cool-bits=value
The Coolbits value is the sum of its component bits in the binary numeral system. The component bits are:
1 (bit 0) - Enables overclocking of older (pre-Fermi) cores on the Clock Frequencies page in nvidia-settings.
2 (bit 1) - When this bit is set, the driver will "attempt to initialize SLI when using GPUs with different amounts of video memory".
4 (bit 2) - Enables manual configuration of GPU fan speed on the Thermal Monitor page in nvidia-settings.
8 (bit 3) - Enables overclocking on the PowerMizer page in nvidia-settings. Available since version 337.12 for the Fermi architecture and newer.[4]
16 (bit 4) - Enables overvoltage using nvidia-settings CLI options. Available since version 346.16 for the Fermi architecture and newer.[5]
To enable multiple features, add the Coolbits values together. For example, to enable overclocking and overvoltage of Fermi cores, set Option "Coolbits" "24".
The documentation of Coolbits can be found in /usr/share/doc/nvidia/html/xconfigoptions.html and here.
https://devicetests.com/ubuntu-20-04-gpu-fan-control
Understanding Coolbits
Coolbits is a feature provided by NVIDIA that allows users to manipulate several advanced properties of the NVIDIA graphics driver. These properties include GPU clock offsets, memory transfer rate offsets, and fan speed control. The value of Coolbits is a sum of its component bits in the binary numeral system. For example, a Coolbits value of 4 enables manual GPU fan control.
Prerequisites
Before we begin, ensure you have administrative privileges on your Ubuntu 20.04 system and the NVIDIA graphics driver installed.
Step 1: Editing the X Configuration File
First, we need to edit the X configuration file. Open the terminal and run the following command:
sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf
This command uses the nano text editor to open the xorg.conf file located in the /etc/X11/ directory. The sudo command is used to run operations that require administrative privileges.
In the file, locate the “Device” section. Here, you need to add the line Option "Coolbits" "4". The “Device” section should look something like this:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Device0"
Driver "nvidia"
VendorName "NVIDIA Corporation"

Step 2: Editing the Xwrapper Configuration File
Next, we need to edit the Xwrapper configuration file. Run the following command in terminal:
sudo nano /etc/X11/Xwrapper.config
In the file, locate the line that starts with allowed_users=. Comment it out by adding a # at the beginning. It should look like this:
# allowed_users=console
Below the commented line, add the following two lines:
allowed_users = anybody
needs_root_rights = yes
The allowed_users = anybody line allows any user to start the X server. The needs_root_rights = yes line grants the X server root rights, which are necessary for Coolbits to function correctly.
Press Ctrl + O to save the file, then Ctrl + X to exit the editor.
Step 3: Changing the Permissions of the Xwrapper Configuration File
Finally, we need to change the permissions of the Xwrapper configuration file. Run the following command in terminal:
sudo chmod 2644 /etc/X11/Xwrapper.config
This command changes the permissions of the Xwrapper.config file to 2644. In this permission set, the owner can read and write the file, while the group and others can only read the file.
Step 4: Rebooting the System
Reboot your computer for the changes to take effect. You can do this by running the following command:
sudo reboot
Conclusion
By following these steps, you should be able to set the Coolbits in Ubuntu 20.04 and enable manual GPU fan control. Remember to adjust the Coolbits value according to your requirements. For more information on Coolbits and its different values, you can refer to the NVIDIA documentation.
