i too was looking at going the route of the poster above. is your suggestion essentially the 'same' in terms of resources as converting a docker container to a LXC (relatively speaking)? for some reason i had/have it in my head that the LXC's would somehow be more efficient (based on...nothing, hence the question!)

Think of an LXC as a docker container but at the OS level.

An LXC running docker with an app containerised inside will basically be the same as if the app is running a level higher in the LXC itself.

Give it a try. Then open top/htop in the host OS (pve shell) and you'll see the apps running in the docker container inside the LXC as native processes.

tyty!

i'm setting up a new server soon and want to optimize/correct some of the things i've done on my first proxmox setup (like not running truenas in proxmox passing the RAID controller through lol).

i'll give this a shot!
