🌟 Briefly describe the feature

Ability to set Container ID

📝 Detailed description

Can't seem to find the option under advanced settings.

💡 Why is this useful?

I like to organize my containers by ID and think it would be a useful addition if possible? Basically an idea I saw from someone else's podcast.

I specify my container ID's by grouping them together using the last two octets of the ip address I've specified. Just helps me to visually group services.

For example:
container id: 3040
ip address: 10.0.30.40

Agreed!

Love this app!

However, while the app does provide the next available CTID, I too set my own as it helps me organize by app-type.

If it is possible to add a field to allow setting the CTID then I’d like to make the request as well (the community-scripts allows it through Advanced Install).

Again, this is a terrific app!

This would be a great additional, right now, as I also use a custom numbering scheme, I have to install via the script in the terminal and use the advanced options, I would much prefer to use the webui if possible.

I also would like this. I currently spin up the container, back it up, stop/destroy it, and restore it under the CTID I actually want to use.

That's exactly how it is for me. An option to set the ID would be very helpful.

I am also here to request this change. I also group my VMs/LXCs logically by vmid. I am not sure if any other of the prompts are missing that you would normally get in the Advance Install, but a 1-for-1 would be awesome.
