Alpine LXCs in Proxmox in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world
[โ€“] iodine0320@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I've had relatively good luck with docker in containers but eventually decided to run docker in VMs as I only semi trust most docker apps and like the added security I get from having it in a full VM in full isolation. Some of the workarounds for docker in LXCs are far from security best practices.

Yes, Alpine maintains Nextcloud in their repos. I mount my NFS share to the Proxmox host (you can mount using the gui and set it to any form of storage you want) then bind mount the share folder to the LXC. I moved from docker in a VM to this LXC with no disruption to my data.

Alpine LXCs in Proxmox (lemmy.world)
 

I recently moved Nextcloud and Gitea from Containers on a Debian VM to Alpine LXCs running Alpine's packages. I've never had Nextcloud's web interface so snappy and my resource usage for both is next to 0. If you're running Proxmox I'd highly recommend trying out Alpine LXCs if they package your services.

Migrating to Podman (lemmy.world)
 

I'm looking to migrate all of my containers to rootless podman but need some advice.

All of my services are currently running docker compose. I've played arount with podman but I am unsure of best practice: I have the option of installing podman-docker, podman-compose, or docker-compose connected to a podman socket. What's the recommended way here?

I also can't seem to find any information on setting up a systemd unit for rootless podman compose. How are you all auto starting podman (compose) files?
