Comment on Proxmox or Docker?

VMs are managed by you. You’re responsible for dealing with prerequisites, updates, security.

Docker is a dev stating “works on my machine” and giving you a copy of their machine.

You can run docker within proxmox, and doing so gives you the ability to run containers in addition to VMs.

There are advantages and disadvantages to both.

I switched to Docker ages ago and don’t regret it. The other benefit aside from the “works on my machine” is that usually it’s very easy to back up with minimal bloat, especially for projects that don’t document what you should be backing up.

I can, and have, switch hosts on a moments notice and only have to mess with DNS updates.

Although I’ve been procrastinating switching to rootless Docker.

The only thing I run on a VM right now is Home Assistant. But I do that with Cockpit and KVM/virsh.
