Making it possible: NextCloudPi LXD on Proxmox

I installed NCP on Proxmox with this help:

Basically the whole installation worked perfectly, but I am also facing the issue that many ncp apps are not available, like hdd automount, datadir and others.
So at the moment I am lost how to add the HDD with all files, that I currently use on my NCP installation on a raspberry pi.
After seeing this thread I ask myself if NCP as LXC container on Proxmox is not really usable? Or do I just need to follow this Getting started with NextCloudPi on Proxmox or this NextCloudPi [VM] on Proxmox to mount my HDD and then I am fine?
So far my datadir was /media/USBdrive/ncdata.
In the proxmox installation it is /var/www/nextcloud/data.
As it looks like I cannot change this, would I need to mount the HDD folder into /var/www/nextcloud/data? I guess that is not possible to mount into this folder, isn´t it?

Would installing NCP into a Debian VM make anything easier here?
According to How to get started with NCP docker also in Docker nc-datadir and so on are not available, so this would lead to the same situation (plus so far I never needed docker, so no experience with that).
