Comment on Docker or Proxmox? Something else entirely?

i just came into containerization recently and skipped Docker completely and went straight to podman. it’s been fantastic and integrates well with systemd. i would recommend anyone new to do the same.
since you’re not new, and are looking for something different, i would say do podman instead of docker.

I concur. Podman is superior in my opinion. It’s more secure by default (rootless containers) and can do pretty much everything docker can do naively (you can literally alias docker to podman in your shell and it will work)
It’s not as easy to find info on some of the systemd specific stuff (Quadlets), but once you figure that out, it’s pretty amazing.
I ended up making up my own scripts to allow me to create new system users, pre-loaded with aliases and shortcut functions to make my life easier ( automatic quadlet container file generation, pre-set network rules, etc), but it is not required.
All the info is there, but starting out it can be a bit overwhelming.
My containers are pretty much self sufficient now. I just intervene when something needs major updating or config changes
