Manage Your Docker/LXC Embedded Containers The EASY Way! 

Nice video. Would appreciate a video on Portioner, showing what you can do and tips.

I just discovered your playlist, looks great! I'll binge watch it over the weekend. :))

Portainer on the proxmox node: Isolation: By running Portainer in a separate container, you can isolate it from the Proxmox node and other containers, which can help protect it from security vulnerabilities and reduce the risk of interference from other containers or the host. Resource Management: Running Portainer in a separate container also allows for better control over the resources that it uses. By allocating a specific amount of resources to the Portainer container, you can ensure that it has enough resources to perform its management and monitoring tasks without interfering with other containers or the host. Backup and Recovery: Keeping Portainer in a separate container makes it easier to back up and restore, in case of any issues, as it will not affect the Proxmox host Security: By running Portainer in a separate container, you can limit access to the Docker host and the other containers, which can reduce the risk of unauthorized access and tampering. Management: By running Portainer in a separate container, you can manage it separately from other containers and the host, which can make it easier to update, upgrade, or troubleshoot. Portability: By running Portainer in a container, it becomes portable and can be moved to different hosts or environments without any modification. In summary, installing Portainer in a separate container provides isolation, improved resource management, easier backup and recovery, increased security, and easier management. It also allows for more flexibility, as it can be moved to different hosts or environments without modification.

Another really helpfull contribution. Many thanks TKD!

I am just getting into the home server and docker and this is very helpful. I would also watch a more detailed video on Portainer.

So helpful, thanks!

Great idea, thanks for sharing

Newbie question: I just went through your list about LXC on ProxMox, and the video about adapting the user-files for file sharing made me scratch my head a little. I didn't setup anything yet but in this video I observed a user section in Portainer. Maybe it does the heavy lifting and automates what you explained in the other video and I don't need to study the other video? 😝

would you normally put all your docker containers inside one LXC container and manage with one agent? or is there some reason to split them up amongst other VMs or LXCs?

WHAT WOULD YOU DO??? Thank you so much. This makes every thing a lot more easy to manage I'm going to try of i can install portainer on my reverse-proxy Than there are 2 options: OPTION-1.) And control the Nested Docker-Containers inside Proxmox LXC-Container. OPTION-2.) Install Portainer on Proxmox as an Extra-layer. (like you explained in the video)... So if i move the server to another location. All the Portainer-Agents Still talk to the Proxmox-Portainer instance. WHAT WOULD YOU DO???

In my case it works only partially, I share so external USB drive to LXC container, so I made mount with UUID as in the tutorial, in media I have this resource I can access it, create directories, I set this resource to 777, in LXC container I can see this resource, previously created directories, but when I try to create a directory there (mkdir) it denies me access, why?

I still dont get it, wouldnt be easier to run a linnux VM with all your containers ?

If docker and portainer should not be installed directly in the proxmox stack, how should it be installed then ? Because you are not the first youtuber I heard saying that but you do not provide the informations about the correct way to do it. It is better to virtualize a linux distro (debian 12 for me) with proxmox, then install docker and portainer inside this VM ?

I am still very new to this stuff. Why would you install docker on a LXC container that you have on Proxmox.
