I mean that’s pretty easy to build yourself. You can write a super simple web app and on get it displays a message then deletes it from database.

So containers have been standardized for a while now (OCI), and even if you install “docker” it’s actually just installing containerd with docker-cli. For years kubernetes is not even supporting docker-shim anymore. So there should be no issue. What is even the problem you are running into?

TrueNAS will remove VMs the next release. It still supports containers directly.

Edit: apparently I misremembered that and its untrue.

Both. Also some concepts may exist in one language and not the other.

It’s not feasible. A project can have 10s or 100s of thousand lines of code and it takes months to really understand what’s going on. Sometimes you need domain specific knowledge.

I read through those installers that do a curl gitbub... | bash. Otherwise I do what amounts to a “vibe check”. How many forks and stars does it have? How many contributors? What is the release cycle like?

What is in the debug log?

Yes it exists, but these services are aimed at companies.

Pierre Cléroux, vice-president of research and chief economist at the Business Development Bank of Canada, told The Globe and Mail that if every Canadian household redirected $25 a week from foreign products to Canadian ones, it would boost GDP by 0.7 per cent and create 60,000 jobs.

Exactly the opposite for me, using official container images is a major time save.

The containers will store their data in volumes, and ideally those volumes are individual ZFS datasets. The containers themselves are stateless, and you can just boot them up with the volume to “restore” them.

However if you want to learn proxmox anyway this is a moot point anyway.

Some concerns:

• get multiple smaller harddrives and put them into some kind of RAID / zpool with redundancy. the drives will fail.
• there is absolutely zero reason to have a VM per service when a container will do. There are no advantages. But VMs will take significantly more resources and be harder to right-size. There is no restore/backup advantage using VMs.
• for that reason there is also no reason to use proxmox in the first place, unless you want to learn proxmox. Truenas scale for example comes with pre-installed k3s.
• I would get a separate hardware firewall because it makes easier to expand the network later.

Anything based on nagios supports custom checks, via any executable script.

apt install nginx
cp -r my-files/* /var/www/

I wouldn’t use it unless you have a separate room somewhere, they are VERY loud.

I disagree with this, container runtimes are a software like all others where logging needs to be configured. You can do so in the config of the container runtime environment.

Containers actually make this significantly easier because you only need to configure it once and it will be applied to all containers.

Docker stores that stdout per default in a log file in var/lib/docker/containers/…

Containers don’t do log rotation by default and the container itself has no say in the matter. You have to configure it in your container runtime config.
