New server has been acquired. Debian 13 has been installed.

GS308EP switches have been acquired and installed.

Now, I’m working to migrate to the new machine. 3 1/2 years ago when I started futzing with Docker, I sorta followed guides and guessed, abused it trying to make it do things it wasn’t designed for, and flipped switches I likely shouldn’t have flipped, so the set up is more than a little shabby.

As a result, I’ll likely end more redeploying than migrating the containers.

So rather than go forward with Docker blindly, I want to reassess whether I shouldn’t look into Proxmox, LXC, or Podman instead of Docker, or maybe something else entirely?

Work is just about done dumping ESX for Nutanix, but both of those seem overkill for my needs.

Of course the forums for any of the solutions make their own out to be the best thing since sliced bread and the others useless, so I’m hoping to get a more nuanced answer here.

    I used proxmox helper scripts for portainer lxc and would get my host system kernel panicked from backing up the lxc that had a NFS share mounted with fstab. Solved it with moving to komodo lxc and setting the NFS share being mounted directly to the container with Docker Compose.if you decide portainer you can set that up with stacks feature. Hope that helps.
