Comment on Home server setup recommendation

I’m very happy with proxmox. It was easy to learn, the community is great, and at it’s plain Debian under the hood.
If I ever rebuild it, I might consider a single VM for all of my docker services. As it stands, I have 5 or 6 VMs running one docker container each. Being new to docker, I wanted as much isolation as I could get in case I worked something.
My next idea is an LXC running a desktop. I have a 3060 for transcoding and I can share that to as many lxcs as I want. There are security implications with lxc, but again there is lots of material on how to do it. If you have a GPU you can pass through whole hog, it’s maybe better or easier to do a VM instead.

If you would please, why not run the containers on top of Proxmox directly instead of in a VM on top of Proxmod?

This actually isn’t a support method. You don’t want to install anything on top of Proxmox as you run the risk of it being auto removed on an upgrade. You should make a VM and run Docker on that VM.

Because I’m new to docker. You’re right - that’s gotta be more efficient but I’ve got plenty horsepower.

Or inside an LXC container, both should be fine. LXC is a bit more complicated to setup but has lower overhead cost.

Thanks for the heads-up
