Comment on New server for the family, Proxmox or TrueNAS, LXC or Docker?

Proxmox all the way, cannot recommend it higher. I was very scared to try it in the beginning but its the best server choice i ever made.
You dont need to choose between lxc or docker. You can just run docker in lxc many helper scripts set you up like that by default.
Super technically they dont recommend doing so but i know others who do this and have never encountered a problem with it.

How is that different from a VM and using docker inside it? Any specific advantages/disadvantages to both approaches?

In Proxmox, LXCs allow you to easily share resources between containers like your iGPU can be shared with your Jellyfin container and a separate Immich container. From my understanding, VMs bind whatever resource to the VM which can’t easily be used with other VMs or containers.

What taxon said.
Most of my services have their own lxc with docker.
A few that need it are vms
It works so well i often forget how i set things up because its very leave and forget about it, Keeps working.

So your running one lxc with one docker container in it?

I am running a few lxc which all run a docker container each.
