  • Not OP, but I run Docker in LXC because my Proxmox host is an Intel NUC and I only have one graphics card (integrated).

    I don’t want to passthrough the iGPU to a VM because then I lose video output for the host. I also don’t want to use SR-IOV for iGPU because it’s buggy and results in garbled output for HDR content. That’s why, in my case, Docker in LXC makes sense.

    Obviously if I had a choice, I would prefer to do Docker in a VM with a dedicated GPU passed through.

    I’ve done Docker in LXC for about a year and it’s been fine. Not perfect and not as secure as a VM, but it suits my homelab.




  • Would there be any technical reason why those logs aren’t displayed in an easy to view location in the UI? I’ve come across too many instances of a TN/Kubernetes app that’s been rubbing perfectly fine for days and it suddenly gets stuck deploying. I feel like with regular docker it’s much easier to troubleshoot.


  • I’m guessing you want an all-in-one server setup for NAS duties and services?

    UnRAID is probably the simplest from a management point of view for storage and docker.

    If you’d prefer something free, then OpenMediaVault works great. It can handle storage (Linux MD-RAID, BTRFS, ZFS, or mergerfs + SnapRAID) and compute tasks like VMs and Docker/Docker Compose all from a web interface. The only problems I’ve encountered with OMV is trying to click through configuration changes too fast and getting ‘stuck’ in a loop of applying conflicting changes. As long as you wait a second or two after hitting OK/apply on things, then you’re good.

    I use TrueNAS SCALE myself with docker and other services running in systemd-nspawn containers. I have a separate Intel NUC running Proxmox.
