Heck, I didn't know you could run containers in containers. I'm setting up some container VMs on my Proxmox soon and didn't even think of using LXC since I thought it technically infeasible.

And yes as others have said, LXC and docker use cases seem different.

LXC seems to be for the same use case as VMs, but smaller, easier to spin up, better resource utilization, etc.

Docker can be used that way too, but is more useful with the surrounding ecosystem of being ephemeral (all data stored on remote storage, container only contains the "app") and with supporting deployment infrastructure.
