- I played with this a bit today. Only downside is, no easy way to update containers yet. But on the other hand, no more dealing with macvlan or custom docker networks.
- They are converted to LXC images then run. No compose file either. Still pretty neat.
- #TIL Proxmox 9.1 is out.
Im still on 8.x -- it was a fun way to consolidate my different hacky projects -- home assistant, frigate, wireguard, qbittorrent etc
Kinda scared to think of what it would take to upgrade to 9.1 :)

- I've been running docker apps via podman inside alpine containers on Proxmox. Works for me with homebridge, scrypted, and plex.
I created an alpine container per app with "nesting=1". Inside each alpine container I installed podman (`apk install podman`). Then it's a couple init scripts inside each alpine container, one to work-around a cgroups issue, the other to start the app via podman:

- I never much minded dedicating a (or some) VM to it anyway, let me assign a dedicated IP. My email stack (mailu) runs best with a dedicated IP to the system, similar for my BBS setup (though broken atm)... For web apps, I run them all in a single Ubuntu Server VM with docker, ufw and caddy on the host OS.
I run a similar setup with a few VMs on a mini pc at home as well... It all works well enough for what I need. Lets me somewhat isolate the containers VM from other purpose-specific VMs.
- I have an "error" "I am not a teapot"
719 - I am not a teapot
Espresso Web (Red Hat Enterprise Linux) at raymii.org
Looks suspicious, ... not 418, 719.
- I have updated and tried to run something. There are apparently three-chunk ids and two-chunk ids. two-chunk ids work. Three-chunk ids don't.

I cannot install this one to Proxmox VE, for instance
UPD. Query tag fails, but fetch is successful if I write "latest" tag

- It's unclear to me why running Docker directly in Proxmox (it's just Debian) and using it like any other Docker host is a bad idea, and why this extra layer of abstractions is preferable.
Docker has security issues if you're not careful, and it's frankly kind of a shitshow out of the box with defaults. Maybe that's part of the reason. But I struggle to see how a bespoke solution like this is the right answer.
- I run a kube cluster instead, because I want to build transferrable skills, using the standard open tools.
I don't think I've ever seen anyone mention using proxmox in a professional context.
None the less, nice progress I reckon.
- This is something I've always loved about Unraid. The whole apps/containers ecosystem is so well done.
- Is this similar to what FlyIO is doing? Running containers as microVMs?
