Kubernetes managing LXC containers on Proxmox

[Machine Manager]

I'm looking for a solution to use Kubernetes to manage LXC services in Proxmox instead of relying in VMs.

Meanwhile I've found some interesting projects:

• lxc/lxcri - A wrapper around LXC which can be used as a drop-in container runtime replacement for use by CRI-O.
• ionos-cloud/cluster-api-provider-proxmox - Cluster API Provider for Proxmox VE.
• dsieradzki/makoon - A web application designed to make managing Kubernetes clusters in Proxmox VE as simple as possible. Not compatible with LXC containers (?)

Any alternatives or experiences with Kubernetes installed as VM managing services in LXC containers? Maybe it could be achieved using the Proxmox API?

Did you find anything? I'd like to use ClusterAPI but instead of having nodes as QEMU VMs, it would be nice if the nodes could be LXC containers. Now, I don't know if kubernetes is supposed to run in LXC containers, but still

@tuxillo, I've found this project called LXE. However, it requires LXD containers instead of LXC and I am not sure if LXD would play well with Proxmox.

Well, LXD is based on LXC, yet very different by having an API itself. I think LXD can "see" the LXC containers, but I'm not sure if Proxmox would play well with the LXD containers not being converted to LXC, which would break the bilateral integration we intent between Kubernetes and Proxmox.

Let me know if you find other interesting projects or alternatives
