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

Hey breh. My setup us bare metal proxmox, a truenas VM and a couple Debian LXCs. Main LXC is running docker just fine with zero issues.
I’d honestly suggest skipping the truenas VM and just managing your disks in proxmox but my setup has been holding steady for about 5 years now.
Definitely don’t have to choose between lxc or docker.

this is me. i originally had truenas core on bare metal but wanted to be able to do more, so truenas is a vm running the same exact pools as before.
proxmox is so goddamn slick!
lxcs for docker compose stacks,
another proxmox setup with backup truenas, rsync weekly!

Why are we running Docker inside LXC? That’s not a wise decision, and is specifically stated as a big “no-no” by both Docker and Proxmox devs.
VMs don’t use as much resources as you realize. I’ve got multiple VMs full of Docker stacks (along with other VMs running various game servers, and several LXCs for various “not set up for Docker” services) spread across three i7-7700T servers; none of them are even close to being taxed.
