Proxmox, LXC, and Debian Trixie
I run Proxmox Virtual Environment as my virtualisation platform. On top of this I use virtual machines using KVM and Linux Containers using LXC - both of which are natively supported on ProxmoxVE.

Where I (re?)discovered Proxmox for LXC hosting on a VPS
Understanding LXC user/group mapping
I’ve been moving some docker containers back from the VM I put them back to Linux Containers (LXC) because of I/O performance and cpu consumption reasons (caused by that I/O).
Migrating Proxmox/ZFS from raidz1 to mirrors
The Proxmox box at my home is also being used as a NAS, with Samba and NFS doing the sharing. It had 4 WD Red 6TB PMR drives, in a raidz1 configuration, giving me a net capacity of 18TB (give or take a few).
Moving docker to a VM
In the original design of my Proxmox box I opted for running the docker containers straight on the host. For a lot of reasons, this is actually a Bad IdeaTM, and it’s been one of my goals to migrate these to a VM at some point.
Adding a SLOG to ZFS
I’ve noticed that quite a few of my VM workloads and NFS workloads are rather slow on my Proxmox box, due to the facts that it’s sitting on spinning rust (also known as hard disk drives) a lot of those are synchronous writes
Enter Proxmox and ZFS
Following up on my Exit Synology post, I’ve decided it’s time to move from a consumer grade NAS to something a bit more sturdy. I’ve also been running out of memory on the Synology NAS with all the things that I wanted to run on it… so time for something else.
