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 just create the lxc, and if the package requires docker I begrugendly install docker on the lxc, I've never had performance issues with Debian lxc, I use it as my base template and it runs flawlessly (outside of ping not working unless sudo)

That being said, I don't like installing Docker a billion times and I feel like that defeats the purpose of using an lxc in the first place, so for most small Docker containers I just put them on the same lxc since docker is going to handle all the isolation in those anyway

I don't ZFS though I still use normal EXT4, and I use PBS for backing it up to an external drive, but I'm curious if that may be the root cause of the issues.
