I’m backing up LXCs, like I’d back up a VM. I don’t back up Docker containers, just their config and volumes.
I don’t think anyone is doing that. We’re talking about installing Docker in LXC. One of the Proxmox rules you can live by is to not install software on the host. I don’t see the problem with installing Docker in an LXC for that reason.
I’ll snapshot an LXC before running things like a dist-upgrade, or testing something that might break things. It’s very easy, so why not?
I back up my LXC that has Docker installed because that way it’s easy to restore everything, including local volumes, to various points in time.
You can also create a single LXC for Docker and run multiple Docker containers on it. The VM argument is for security as it’s harder to escalate to the host from a VM than from an LXC.
The amount of hours I’ve spent looking for non-plastic options for regular items is so stupid. I’m glad to have non-plastic options, so I can vote with my wallet.
The purpose of DEI is to enable meritocracy. Instead, the fools want their undeserved privilege back.
