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…
There are big differences between these two technologies. LXC is closer to a virtual machine than a docker setup. You could mimic most of a dockerfile if you wanted, but it’s not a replacement.
Most of us will use a mix og docker-hosts(vm’s running docker) and lxc. Reasons for this is that some stuff is easier to maintain in docker as it’s the preferred release channel.
You can also move vm’s to other datacenter hosts if needed - and with shared storage this is quick and mean no downtime. Lxc are stuck on the host.
