Use LXC

[rwanito]

Hi !
I'm thinking about a cluster of service in a cluster of proxmox server.
I have so many ideas but I want to take the maximum of proxmox.

I'm a docker user and I have habits like : Docker file, docker-compose...etc
Can I have the same things into LXC.

For example :
- Wordpress with different configuration : passwords, theme...etc
- Only one template

So my question, is it possible to make template and to custom them at the launch time ?

I'm thinking about a k8s cluster with VM. But it maybe heavy but the simplicity of dockerfile and CI/CD is very what I want.

Thanks !

yes what you want is possible. we support creating templates from containers. for customization you could use any scripting language you want (to set up wordpress, change password etc.) to run the desired commands inside the container.

cloning the container templates can be done easily through GUI or via our pct tool [0]

I'm thinking about a k8s cluster with VM. But it maybe heavy but the simplicity of dockerfile and CI/CD is very what I want.

it really depends on your use case. i suggest you test various setups you have in mind and see the pros/cons of each and decide.

Hi,
Thanks a lot for your reply !
I'll try all with LXC. It's less complex than k8s for the rest of the team !

Have you already try to add a system like a hearbeat in a LXC cluster ?
Like k8s can do with healthcheck ?
It will be a system which restart or renew a container if it goes down.

Thanks !

no not in the same way, but you can configure the High Availability manager [0] if you want.
