Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

I tried docker directly on LXCs. Don't do it man. It's brittle, it barely works, and every proxmox update it will cause things to break. It takes forever to get working because you're disabling things that should not be disabled, and it will only get harder.
I spent years trying to make what you're talking about work well, and it never did.
Just install a VM and run docker in there. If you really want to make docker containers more generic, then really you may be ready to go full kubernetes.
I have the opposite experience of this. All of my local services are a single docker container inside an LXC. I don't like that it's conceptually messy, but in practice it's easy to manage. What I love about it is the simplicity of backing up or moving the entire LXC between servers.
I've not had any drama with things breaking across Proxmox updates. The only non-gui thing I need to do during the process is adding two lines to the LXC conf to have Tailscale work correctly.
