Hello, have setup my proxmox server since some weeks recently I found that LXC containers could be useful as it really separate all my services in differents containers. Since then I figured out to move my docker’s services from a vm into several LXC containers. I ran into some issues, the first one is that a lot of projects run smoother in docker and doesn’t really have a “normal” way of being package… The second thing is related to the first one, since they are not really well implemented into the OS how can I make the updates?
So I wonder how people are deploying their stuffs on LXC proxmox’s containers?
Thanks for your help!
EDIT : Tried to install docker upon debian LXC but the performances were absolutely terrible…
Honestly, what you’re trying to do is a great use case for docker already. I suggest learning more about how to use docker, take backups, restore from backups, etc. E.g., I have a NFSv4 share that I store all of my containerized services’ config and data files in. Any time I need to restore a precious version, it’s as easy as restoring the previous version files and starting the previous version container.
Yeah that could be an option too, but I kinda like the way how lxc works so I’m going to stick to it and write scripts to make the whole thing automated
Check out ansible for ways to automate this stuff. Highly recommended!
I thought to only cron to run weekly update
