Hi Why does proxmox not natively support docker? I know it's based on lxc but seeing where the technology is going, it wouldn't be good for it to provide that kind of support. I am a proxmox user, I love it but more and more they ask me for docker support and I would not want to change of technologist.
native docker for proxmox

This has been asked many times before ... Proxmox VE is a IaaS platform, to have Docker containers, you would need to have a CaaS platform, which is normally (at least) one layer down. Therefore the way to have Docker (or better a orchestration platform like k3s/k8s/rancher/you-name-it) is to have virtual machines running an orchestration platform and therein your docker containers. Normally you run PVE cluster with HA and (docker or lxc) containers are per so not HA, therefore you would put them inside of VM's, that are HA and provide everything from there.
Yes, for your homelab, it would make some sense to have it, but PVE is not targeted for your DIY-non-subscription homelab.
