I have several docker containers, now I setup a PC with Proxmox.

Which is the best approach to run containers on Proxmox?

Reading online there are two approaches VM Vs LXC (Ubuntu I prefer).

What do you suggest?

Thanks

    Why not ask /r/Proxmox?

    In general its not recommended to run Docker inside a LXC, especially for a beginner. However plenty of people (including myself) are doing it, you just might run into a few hurdles.

    If you plan on having mostly a single Docker host with your containers running, then i would suggest a VM for that.

    If you want to run multiple hosts separately, then the overhead from each VM adds up and i would recommend separate LXC instead.

    This gets asked often, you could simply search for existing threads.
