Installing Docker and Portainer in LXC 

Great video, thanks. I like the fact that you actually explain what the different parameters on the command line do instead of just listing out things. I would, however, move the picture-in-picture box to the upper right hand corner. Then we could see what you type.

Thank you for the thorough explanation. My Portainer instance stopped working for several weeks...this got me back on track.

I loved the fact that you explained everything slowly and thoroughly. Can you please show us how to install Traefik in the Docker environment using Portainer as well, thank you and keep up the great work.

Fantastic video, really solved my issues. I also enjoy the background explanations as I continue to familiar myself with all things Linux. Keep it going my friend!

I just discovered your videos. Great work!!

Great video! Would love to see some container installation guides

Thanks Allan. These videos are great and I actually like you aren't using a script

As an addendum, if you're looking for any ideas for subjects of upcoming videos you might look into a video on setting up backups for your container's persistent data using something like rsync or borg backup, and possibly using something like watchtower or ouroboros for automatically keeping your containers up to date. Just suggestions, cheers!

FYI you can scroll up in version 6 of proxmox console. :)

Nice video Allen. What kind of camera are you using?

Thanks. This was interesting to watch and I especially appreciate that you tried to tell what commands actually do. I really don't like when some tutorials tell to pretty much run some script from somewhere and "it's all right/done". Also do you have any beginner tips where to find bit more depth information about Docker and LXC's both? I'm really just looking into Proxmox and LXC is bit confusing. Say I ie. I don't fully understand when upgrading LXC system you might get prompt like "do you want to keep original/changed setup X" or something like change confirmations in something like vnc. I though LXC is using just same kernel from OS, but it quickly seems that are some other system files also common with OS host?

To start off, thank you for making these videos! Seeing these kinds of tutorials is very helpful to a visual learner like myself, and I find that frequently tutorials presented as text alone will leave out some steps that might be important. I also noted that the VNC you're using is set as the default NoNVC which does have the issues you noted such as scrolling and the ability to copy and paste into the virtual terminal. You might consider changing your default in Proxmox to xterm.js as it does enable scrollback and has the ability to copy from and paste into the terminal, so it might be a benefit to you if you need quick access to a running vm/lxc. Another question I had was about the docker status. When running docker inside a lxc I'm seeing similar warnings you seem to have when you pull up the docker.service status. Have you run into any issues running containers at all?

It would great especially for us linux noobs if you could include the commands in the description or if you have a website include it there 😁 Otherwise, thanks for the tutorial and more importantly explaining how, why and reasoning behind your commands/actions instead of other youtubers where they just ramble through things without background info (for example elaborating/explaining persisting infomation ) 👍

Great job with the video. Really appreciate it! I am running into an issue with docker exec commands on any containers that are created. docker exec -it portainer /bin/sh I get the following error: OCI runtime exec failed: exec failed: container_linux.go:345: starting container process caused "exec: \"/bin/sh\": stat /bin/sh: no such file or directory": unknown I even get an error when I run: docker exec -it portainer ls . OCI runtime exec failed: exec failed: container_linux.go:345: starting container process caused "exec: \"ls\": executable file not found in $PATH": unknown I also get an error from portainer as well. Is this have something to do with docker running in a container and not kvm? I have restarted my lxc and still see the issue. Thanks in advance.

Hi Allen, thank you for this helpful video. I've followed your tutorial, but I've hit a snag. Could you please provide your thoughts on my problem? I've made an LXC container that is unprivileged, and I've enabled both keyctl and nesting under options. However, whenever I try to run a docker image (even just hello-world fails) I get an error mounting to the rootfs which is typically a namespace issue that should be resolved with the nesting option I set. I also am using zfs file system. Do you have any ideas on what might fix this problem?

nice vid thx

Thanks for the video. Can you do one with portainer swarm deployment on docker?

Would it be better to run Ubuntu with docker & Portainer on your server for all your containers needs without using Proxmox ???

If i were to set up, for example, sonarr. As I understand it, it would be appropriate to create a new docker volume, named sonarr, for the installation of the container? I also bind mounted my network share to the ubuntu lxc container. So my plan was to bind mount the download folders to the network share in the container. Is this how I should setup programs that manage data outside the container, or am I completely off track? Tried to explain as best as i could. I'm pretty new to linux in general

Two issues I've ran into using an lxc are persistent NFS shares(shares mount but not) and docker compose. Has anyone figured out how to do this in an lxc?

I found there is a problem that I can't install Docker and NFS in same LXC server, because the NFS will need Unprivileged set to No, then the keyctl couldn't select. The docker wouldn't work without keyctl.

Allen I got stuck on the Docker-ce part...when I type it, it shows no available packages and then if I proceed I get this: Package docker-ce is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source E: Package 'docker-ce' has no installation candidate

Hi Allen. Great video. Why are we installing/running docker if we are creating lxc ct in proxmox? I think I am missing something.

I seem to be unable to pull images from docker. I get the message that it has not been found locally, but then it times out. I looked it up online, and I see suggestions about proxy settings, but I have no clue how to set that up. Is the LXC container blocking this somehow?

Hi Allen, great job! in your opinion ina lxc ubuntu docker can i use gpu passthrough? tks

When I made mines on the portainer local is says down. Not sure what I did wrong.

How would I go about installing remoter? Any site with instructions?

When performing apt update I get an error saying "Cannot initiate the connection to archive.ubuntu.com:80 (2001:67c:1562::18). - connect (101: Network is unreachable)" Does anyone have a similar issue?
