what zener_diode said.
when i was setting up this version of my homelab (this is v2), i had to contend with how to run docker. The general concensus is that the “best” way to run it is Proxmox>VM>Docker. Proxmox>LXC>Docker is supposed to be viable too. Proxmox>Docker is possible but is not recommend.
I have 20 active docker services with about 30 containers running all sorts of services and they’re extremely reliable under this setup. The only time I’ve had problems is when I ran out of disk space (128gb) because stale docker images weren’t pruned.

Running Docker inside a VM is the recommended way to run Docker on Proxmox.
Personally, I just run Docker inside LXC containers. Aparently, this is supposed to be not entirely stable, but its never given me any problems. (I commit an entirely different sin against efficiency, by keeping each service in its own LXC container, each with its own Docker host.)
I also run Immich (in Docker inside a container), and haven’t noticed any performance issues. But I’m the only user, and I don’t use it heavily, so ymmv.

I’ve been doing this for years too, keeps services isolated and I can share the same GPU with several containers. Works great!

I see. I’m fairly new to this, obviously. Appreciate the context.
