Installation guide improvements (Ubuntu LXC)

[Coder84619]

I installed a fresh Ubuntu 24.04 LXC on Proxmox 8.3. I followed the installation guide and have a few comments:

1. Add cargo apt installation instructions
2. After the Bifrost binary compiled, it was not in my search path.
3. Add steps to configure Bifrost as an auto-run system service upon OS bootup.
4. Add file-based logging
5. Cleanup the example config file to remove all "..."

If anyone wants to try a Ubuntu 24.04 LXC on Proxmox, I found the following LXC sizing to be adequate:
10G / drive
128MB RAM
1 vCPU

Thank you for your suggestions!

I think it's really important to minimize these "papercuts" for new users, so your input is appreciated.

Allow me to go over each point:

1. You mean sudo apt install cargo? That's certainly one way to install cargo, at least on Debian systems. I love Debian, and it's my primary Linux distro, but the install instructions are not Debian-specific at the moment, and I'm not sure it's overall better to do so.

We could maybe mention it as an alternative to rustup.rs, which is mentioned, and the (my) preferred way to install rust. Comments?

2. Well, if you used rustup.rs, it would have been... 😃 So that's perhaps an argument against the apt method.

3. That makes a lof of sense, yes. There's actually doc/bifrost.service.ex, but it's not described super well.

4. I don't personally agree with the file-based logging. I think that's the wrong approach to use.

Using a systemd unit, bifrost nicely logs to the journal, bringing it completely on par with other system services. That's how I run my personal installation of bifrost.

5. I'm not sure what you mean by all "..."? There's no ... in the config example?

Do you mean the two ... in the config reference? We could replace those with # ... more config here as needed or somesuch?
