Currently I’m running some services though Docker on a Proxmox VM. Before I had Proxmox, I thought containers were a very clean way of organizing my system. I’m currently wondering if I can just install the services I always use on the VM directly. What are the pros and cons of that?

    Pros:

    • better validation of installation and content, as long as you’re otherwise set for that.
    • easier setup
    • easier management
    • easier teardown
    • simpler firewalling

    Cons: (vs docker-on-vm)
