I run my containers in an LCX on Proxmox (yes I heard I should use a VM, but it works…)
For data storage (syncthing, jellyfin …) I make volumes in the LXC. But I was wondering if this is the best way?
I started thinking about restoring backups. The docker backups can get quite large with all the user data. I was wondering if a separate “NAS” VM and NFS shares makes more sense. Then restoring/cloning docker lxc would be faster, for troubleshooting. And the user data I could restore separately.
What do you guys do?
I run my dockers all in one VM, with persistent volumes over NFS. That way the entire thing could take a dump and as long as I have the nfs volume, we’re Gucci.
