Hello. I know that i can run docker in VM, or also in LXD (preffered for better performance),
but did you considered adding docker support directly to proxmox? At least as optional feature?


I know main focus of Proxmox VE is (as name stands for) Virtual Environment. And docker is not directly focus of Proxmox.
But it would be awesome to have this feature available. Then proxmox becomes universal tool to run basically anything.

Installing docker directly on proxmox (in current state when its not officially supported) inst optimal solution, specially for mainterence and updates. And also would require separate interface outside of Proxmox WebIf.

Thank you.

Actually, virtualization is about seperation and security, so running it in KVM/QEMU is the prefered way to run it and the documentation states this multiple times, even the FAQ.

It does not make sense in an enterprise setup, which does already have orcherstration tools like k8s, that does exactly what you want from an enterprise docker run tool.
