  • LXC images download
    Hello community, It seems LXC images for arm7l/armhf are no longer available, not from the official Turris mirror nor from LinuxContainers.org (https://linuxcontainers.org/lxd/). Any solution or alternative for people like me heavily relying on the Turris Omnia to run LXC containers? Thanks. Source: 12 months ago
  • Bought a mini pc to run Proxmox bare metal but the storage is emmc which PM hates. What should I run instead to self host containers and vms?
    Any distribution stable enough and LXD https://linuxcontainers.org/lxd/ for containers and VMs. Source: over 1 year ago
  • Rancher K3s: Kubernetes on Proxmox Containers
    This has been really stable, and has worked pretty well for me. I deploy the applications to a set of LXD containers (read: lightweight Linux VMs) on Proxmox, a free and open-source hypervisor with an excellent management interface. - Source: dev.to / about 2 years ago
