In this episode of VirtualizationHowto, Brandon Lee explains how to properly run Docker on Proxmox, a common yet often misunderstood setup in home labs. He advises against installing Docker directly on the Proxmox host due to potential network conflicts and complications with updates and backups. Instead, he recommends running Docker inside a virtual machine or an LXC container for better isolation, resource control, and easier disaster recovery. Brandon details best practices for both options, including using familiar Linux distros for VMs, creating dedicated disks for Docker volumes, and properly configuring networking to avoid conflicts. He also emphasizes the importance of Docker storage best practices, backing up persistent volumes and configurations, and monitoring the Docker environment for resource issues.
