Proxmox VE with Alpine Linux guests

lxcs are just great. love alpine on proxmox.

Actually, most of the guests are VMs (instead of LXCs) because many services I host are most easily deployed via Docker Compose and Docker in LXCs requires workarounds I don't fully understand thr implications of.

Heck really? I hadn't considered maybe that was some of my issues.

On proxmox I was able to get a docker compose Ark survival evolved server setup on an Ubuntu lxc without much fuss, a few other docker compose things worked okay also, once I figured out that compose isn't going to create the volumes for me.

Otherwise they've all been too deep for me or require other containers to run which I lose motivation on.

i use lcx alpine 3.16 and all i do is add docker docker-cli ...super fast. no hassle.
