I recently installed proxmox on two 7050 micro pcs, and set up a third box with PBS.

Within proxmox is it best to run docker in a LXC or a VM ?

Should I run one docker image per instance, or all in the same instance ?

I would like to back this stuff up to PBS. Is this a factor in this decision?

I have plex, node-red, influxdb, mosquitto and grafana dockers on an old pc that I wish to rehost to proxmox.

    I’ve tried both LXCs and VMs, and I’m now in the process of migrating from an LXC to a VM for my docker containers. The biggest reason I’m migrating is security - you shouldn’t run privileged LXCs in proxmox, and there are some features (gpu pass-through) I couldn’t run in an LXC without it being privileged. I still run other non-docker services in LXCs wherever possible though.
