I recently installed proxmox on two 7050 micro pcs, and set up a third box with PBS.

Within proxmox is it best to run docker in a LXC or a VM ?

Should I run one docker image per instance, or all in the same instance ?

I would like to back this stuff up to PBS. Is this a factor in this decision?

I have plex, node-red, influxdb, mosquitto and grafana dockers on an old pc that I wish to rehost to proxmox.

    I use a single LXC for all my docker stuff. You can use a VM too, either way works. The VM is easier to set up as docker in LXC requires a few extra steps.

    Definitely don’t do one docker image per instance, the overhead on that would be insane with managing configs and updates. I can’t imagine having over 100 LXC containers that I’d have to individually update and manage!
