@JeanValjean I am not in a position to judge but Id be interested to hear comments on this position.

From the Proxmox Discussion Forum

Linux Containers (= LXCs) and docker containers are something completely different. LXCs are system containers. These contain a full OS except for the kernel which is shared with the host. You will have to administrate them like you would do it with a VM.
Docker containers are application containers where you containerize a single appliance. You don’t individualize/upgrade them. You just throw them away and create a new one. So you are quite limited what you can do with them, as all you can configure is what the container creator wants you to be able to change.

So if you want a service as secure and independent as possible, or if you want to use Win/Mac/FreeBSD, use a VM.
If you want something like a VM running Linux, but you want less overhead, at the cost of security, use a LXC.
If you just want to run some services but you don’t want to invest time on learning how they work or administrating them, then running a VM with docker would be a good choice.

@sem @portnull The one you want to use as an exit node is a commercial vpn provider right?

whatever you want - its pretty much achievable with openwrt, wireguard and some routing (maybe using policy based routing)

Bonus there is a wireguard client app for android that automatically switches off the tunnel back to your home server if you are on its Lan. Its called WG Wireguard.

@Creat @JeanValjean Alot of apps seem to come with Docker images - can you use those with Podman?

@Vendetta9076 @JeanValjean I happened to be searching on running docker inside lxc today. There were quite a few suggestions on configs to make them not go kurplunk. I think i might follow them…
