I’m currently setting up proxmox just for that. Since I’m still quite new to self hosting, I fuck up from time to time. Deleted my root file system once. Updated Nginx proxy manager and took down my services with it. I once fucked up iptables, scary stuff.
In the future, it’ll be one click and everything works again. It’s so easy on novices, once you get everything going.

I ham-fistedly use LXC to keep my services separate and out of dependancy hell, but would you go as far as putting docker run services in them as well just to keep them away from the host?

I do that, each separate docker stack has its own unprivileged LXC as a base

Good to know, thanks!

Be aware that, in the past anyway, Docker didn’t like some storage mediums when running in LXC (I think there are [were?] issues if you snapshot the LXC image on ZFS and you’re using the Overlay2 driver for Docker), and that you could often find issues with networking that way as well (might be a problem if you are trying to cluster/swarm between multiple LXCs?). For those reasons I’ve kept all my Docker stuff in kvm rather than LXC, I wasn’t experienced enough to untangle it all.
