Comment on Docker containers can no longer communicate with the host's local network

That’s what I’ve been seeing, but I run enough stuff on Windows that has poor support for Linux that makes it a toss-up. Do you think it’s feasible to run Docker on Linux in a Hyper-V container on Windows? I’m really trying to evaluate my options, I’ve considered Proxmox to separate my Windows and Linux stuff; currently I am running an instance of Ubuntu in Hyper-V for my Linux stuff. Do you think Proxmox is more viable?

I go the other way. I have linux installed pretty much just to run docker and qemu running windows with iommu passthrough. The performance hit is negligible, and with docker context you can run docker-cli and devcontainers and stuff in the windows vm like native.

  Hmm, I’ve never looked into qemu. Do you use a GPU in your environment? It passes through to your Windows VM fine?

If using it solely for Docker, I wouldn’t go the Proxmox route. Just install Debian and go from there.

  On my host PC (Windows Server), I’m already running a VM in Hyper-V that operates behind a VPN for my *arr environment. I’m worried about resources and resource allocation if I add another VM just for docker. Basically I’m looking at 3 environments - Windows Server for my windows stuff, Debian server for my *arr stuff (this all has to be behind a VPN), and a Linux docker environment. It makes sense to me to go the Proxmox route now that I’ve considered it, don’t you think? Not asking because I’m trying to convince you, just interested in others perspectives.

If you’re running Docker for servers not development, then you can make Hyper-V work. I used to do that before I got a separate Linux server.

Just setup a network adapter that gets bridged to your Ethernet adapter, then create a VM that uses that bridged adapter. The Linux VM will appear like its another computer on your LAN and you can use Docker with host Network.
