Comment on Why use Proxmox over Podman or Docker?
terabyterex@lemmy.world 16 hours ago
because sometimes i need a vm (home assisstant has more features thsn home assisstant container), sometimes a container (i mostly use lxc).
its not really an extra lauer because proxmox is an os.you use nixos i use proxmox. everything is out of the box. proxmox has comminntiu scripts to run everythkng and set them up. so want to install radarr? bash -c “$(curl -fsSL raw.githubusercontent.com/…/radarr.sh)”
sure podman has similar setup but i also need vms and they are all mamaged in one place
so want to install radarr? Paste this totally not sketchy bash script into your terminal and execute it as root!!

ProxmoxVE helper scripts have been around for quite a while and are pretty easy to read, as well as being pretty well supported in the community. You can just go to the GitHub page and read them. I’ve used some of their scripts before by downloading them, customizing the scripts to my needs, and hosting it on a local web server inside my network. Now I can run one command and I’ll have a new debian container on my host with ssh keys and everything.

While I agree with you that they’re well seasoned and established I disagree a lot with them being easy to read. They have a lot of sub-scripts that they include willy-nilly over multiple levels.
Another thing I dislike about them is basically the same as with docker, that they all include everything in it. Like every container wants his own mariadb/postgres/whatever. It should be at least an option to use existing containers, I don’t need to run 5 psql servers… (I know that it had advantages too having everything separate but ehh). And then switching the software back to using the existing psql is more work then just not using the scripts at all…

You should checked that script first.....
