Hello, have setup my proxmox server since some weeks recently I found that LXC containers could be useful as it really separate all my services in differents containers. Since then I figured out to move my docker’s services from a vm into several LXC containers. I ran into some issues, the first one is that a lot of projects run smoother in docker and doesn’t really have a “normal” way of being package… The second thing is related to the first one, since they are not really well implemented into the OS how can I make the updates?
So I wonder how people are deploying their stuffs on LXC proxmox’s containers?
Thanks for your help!
EDIT : Tried to install docker upon debian LXC but the performances were absolutely terrible…
I update a container by doing a backup, then logging in and running apt upgrade and apt update. Some applications I update manually by downloading and unpacking the installer.
I haven’t noticed any kind of performance issues. The only application I tried which seemed to require Docker was Immich.
Performance issues when using librespeed. Running it in docker in a vm got me a perfect gig network (as intended on my network) but when using docker in lxc it goes from 200mib to 600mib and it’s absolutely not stable
What about using lxc natively? I would imagine librespeed would run better without two layers of virtual networking.
It is. Running as smooth as we can imagine the only downside is the at the cost of pain of updating and maintaining but I will go that way
I’m kind of a Linux noob but I found LXC to be much easier to manage than Docker. Some nice resources are TurnKeyLinux images and the helper scripts:
