🌟 Briefly describe the feature

Need to ask users if they want to install MongoDB or use an existing one

📝 Detailed description

Hello!

Really thrilled to see the new Nightscout script (https://github.com/community-scripts/ProxmoxVE/pull/11621)!

Would be really helpful if when setting it up, users were asked whether or not they wanted MongoDB installing, or whether they wanted to use an existing MongoDB database elsewhere. mongodb.com offers free ones.

As it stands, if the machine doesn't have AVX, the installation script fails, but in this particular scenario, users should be notified that their machine doesn't have AVX so that a solution can be figured out rather than failing the installation. :- )

Thanks so much for working on Nightscout availability, it's amazing to see support for an admittedly niche thing.

💡 Why is this useful?

Because AVX is necessary for MongoDB, this rules out a lot of cheap, low-wattage hardware available to the average Nightscout user, who is likely to mitigate this with a free database in the cloud. This also has a lot going for it in terms of availability and reliability as a store of data. :- )
