Moveing from Unraid to Proxmox
- Thread starter Numbleski
- Start date
Good morning, you can't run Docker on a Proxmox VE Host itself, you must set up new Debian 13 VM and Setup Docker inside.
Debian 13, Docker is only another VM, which must manage by your self.

And yeah been having issues with setting up the vm for unraid this week, passed through the sata controller, then tinkered with trying to get coretemp to be seen , rebooted it couldn't passed through the controller again and would freeze up proxmox and couldn't shut down the vm, So I've reinstalled proxmox. And here I am, so reading docker LXC seems to have issues vs debian.

Basically you can use any Linux distribution as docker vm. So if you prefer Fedora, Ubuntu, Arch, Alpine or whatever they will work as well as Debian 
Docker in lxcs can work but break from time to time after updates, so this is possible but not recommended:

In theory you can also setup docker directly on the host but this is even more error-prone ( since it can mess with Proxmox SDN and other networking features) and not supported at all.
I wonder why you want to migrate from unRaid? If it works for you, you don't need to change it. ProxmoxVE is more flexible than a baremetal than unRAID but also has a higher complexity and steeper learning curve. unRAID can also host virtual vms if you happen to need one, e.g. for HomeAssistantOS.
