where do you run PBS? in a vm on the main proxmox host?
Comment on Docker or Proxmox? Something else entirely?

Proxmox is great. I run each service in its own lxc/vm. Many of the vms also run docker. Probably overkill, but backups and restores via Proxmox Backup Server are super easy when segregated this way

Yes that’s exactly how I run it. I backup the PBS vm separately also, in case the host goes down

LXC on the host for me. Make sure it never backs itself up though.

This. Unless you want to go through the hell of multiple redundant architecture to deal with updates breaking things and backups. If you are The only person who is maintaining the multiple services that you’re running the backup feature alone is the reason to go with Proxmox. Upgrade to a lcx container didn’t go like you thought it would, roll back the backup, 30 sec and done. Also making liberal use of alpine have made it smooth and simple.
