Update/upgrade Proxmox LXC containers

[niekniek89]

Hello,

I have a "Docker LXC" container running on my Proxmox host.
I just don't know how, or if it is necessary to update/upgrade it.

if so, can anyone tell me how best to update/upgrade it?

thanks for the help!

Hi,
Proxmox has no native support for docker containers, or are you talking about a LXC container that itself acts as a docker host or have you install docker on your proxmox server?
If you are wondering how you update an LXC container, it is basically the same as updating a vm, you enter the container over SSH or the webui and run its native updater. For an Ubuntu/Debian container that would be apt, for Alpine apk, Redhat rpm and so on ...

Hello,

thanks for your answer.
it is indeed an LXC container that itself acts as a docker host.
I deployed it via shell with the command below.

Okay, then update the container from the inside with the guest provided update mechanism. There is nothing PVE can do here.
