    Do you run Docker in a VM or on the host node? I’m running a lot of LXC at home on Proxmox but sometimes it’d be nice to run Docker stuff easily as well.

      It’s kind of redundant but I run Docker in minimal debian LXCs. I like the speed of LXCs but I still love the reproducibility of Docker so I combine them lol. I do run regular VMs with docker for systems that are doing more than one thing

        Thanks for the tip, I’ll have to give that a try this weekend. I assumed it would require a full VM but never thought to try it in LXC, nice if it’s that simple and I now feel kind of silly for asking haha. And the reproducibility and ease of deployment is indeed a big plus of Docker compared to LXC. It would be nice if Proxmox could add native integration for Docker at some point.

          One thing that’s super important is to enable container nesting in the LXC settings. You can’t run docker otherwise. (Besides that one setting, it’s definitely as simple as that) And very much agreed @ the docker support in PM. That’d be the dream.

          Have fun with the testing though!
