Thanks! I was planning on taking my time. I won’t decommission my current setup before I’m confident the new one is doing all right.
And I’m damn sure I will need several iterations of setting all up, testing, finding obstacles and starting over.
I just tried to get a head start instead of beginning with the simplest mistakes :)
Comment on Proxmox setup - help needed

Not answering every single point but generally: I’d set up proxmox, test everything, make notes, reach a state/config that you like, and then start over doing it “properly” from start.
Personally: ZFS yes, quemu/lxc depends on use case
I shy away from running all services as Docker on the same machine for backup/restore purposes and rather have VMs per service. Is there anything wrong with this approach?
No, but you’ll have much more overhead. I have a VM that hosts all Docker deployments which don’t need much disk space (most of them)

This is a big point. One of the key advantages of docker is the layering and the fact that you can build up a pretty sizeable stack of isolated services based on the same set of core OS layers, which means significant disk space savings.
Sure, 200-700MB for a stack of core layers seems small but multiply that by a lot of containers and it adds up.
