Running Docker Containers on PBS?

[Verulam]

Hi there

This is a just a query that I thought someone may have some experience with. I'm trying to troubleshoot it myself but would appreciate any thoughts?

We've got a physical PBS that looks after our various PVE clusters. It also acts as our QDevice for these clusters.

What I am trying to do is install Graylog (along with Opensearch & MondoDB) as containers is order for the PBS to function as a central Syslog server. The box is over-specced for PBS so I'm trying to extract more value from the hardware.

This process works fine on a vanilla Debian 12 VM: Clone the Graylog Git repo, then docker compose up and it all works.

However on PBS I am getting a raft of permission denied errors (Mongo & Java specifically) which I'm trying to work through but getting tangled up so any thoughts on how PBS is hardened over vanilla Debian would be much appreciated. I'm currently looking into adding AppArmor profiles (or just disabling it) and/or changing permissions on the mount points used by these containers.

Not urgent at all but thought I'd throw it out there...

What about installing Proxmox VE side by side bare-metal and run these other services in VMs that way?

It is one way to run PBS: https://pbs.proxmox.com/docs/installation.html#install-proxmox-backup-server-on-proxmox-ve

You would have to go the other way and add the Proxmox VE repos and packages: https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Install_Proxmox_VE_on_Debian_12_Bookworm
