Subject: [PATCH] fix(install): fix Debian 13 LXC template root ownership bug

The Debian 13 LXC template has a bug where / is owned by nobody instead
of root. This causes systemd-tmpfiles to fail with exit code 73 during
package installation (e.g. authelia).

Fix by checking and correcting / ownership at container setup.
