    My thoughts exactly. I wonder if they’ll make it easy to re-create with a newer image. The compiled app binaries are usually copied into the image via Containerfile with no way to update it from inside the container.

    Edit: it’s addressed in the Proxmox board:

    https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/proxmox-virtual-environment-9-1-available.176255/

    That one of the major reasons for why it’s a tech preview, i.e., it’s a bit involved. You basically need to create separate mounpoints for the data volumes (they are logged in CT create task) and then one can create a CT from the new image and move over the data volume. Making this simpler and more approachable is on the roadmap, but no promises how fast we can deliver here.




  • Running multiple things in one host is perfectly fine. The more you have, the more complicated dependencies will become. Tool A needing PHP < 8 and tool B needing PHP 9 can be handled but is a headache.

    That’s why many people are using containers, specifically Docker. Each tool brings their own dependencies that are running isolated. Not sharing dependencies is more resource intensive but easier to handle.

    I’m not running the tools you mentioned but probably they list their resources requirements. I suggest you to check containers/Docker and consider using them instead of installing the tools natively.
