You could create a fresh container, install docker, and create a new template image from it. This way the overhead of installing disapears. The overhead in resource usage for each docker installation would remain the same as before.

As mentioned in another reply, you could run several container in one lxc. For example with docker compose or podman. Since I have no experience with podman but with docker compose, docker compose is pretty simple.

But all in all, I prefer to install everything “bare metal” in lxc containers. The main reason is, I don’t want to mess around with the extra layer of configurating ports etc.

Just to throw another option in: Lxc are containers too. And they are the other major option proxmox comes with.

It feels more like bare metal installations, but are more lightweight and share there ressources they do not use.

I never got why having Proxmox and one VM with several docker containers except I absolutly don’t want to deal with installations at all.

On the other hands I wanted to learn about linux and the basics of handling proxmox.

Ok, I need to ask this: have you got any karina hart content in 4K? Any set of pictures or a video?

When your board owns a free pcie slot, you could also buy an extension card to use all of you m.2 ssd.

What breed of dog is this? A shipperke?

I have something to read for you :

My Request

It is a request of me from earlier this year. The boards I mention in the opening post are no good choice. But the Asrock J500x or J5040 (the one I picked in the end) are. For my needs it is enough of everything. Even if some users here think the celerons are “heaters that can do math” ^^

On the other hand, the cpu is soldered to the board. No upgrade without switching the board either… Even the SODIMM ram needs to be replaced when switching away from an itx-board…

On the other hand, it is less energy consuming than using an old desktop cpu etc.

The pico-psu is just sweet 😊

Great. So all is left to say: I wish a speedy recovery and all the best for your little fellow 😊

Maybe the vet already said it, but you should give some stuff for his gut. Otherwise the long antibiotical treatment will destroy his gut flora.

It is what happened to me. And I still have to deal with a lot of allergies from the resulting leaking gut syndrom. And I took supplements while I took the antibiotics too…

Startpage.com for more than 4 years know I guess.

Sweet snoot 😊

At the moment I do exactly that. Learn proxmox, omv, influxDB and tomorrow grafana comes around to play 😉

Nevertheless proxmox and omv are the difficult ones if you never used a hypervisor before. And my toughest lesson was: software raid is pretty slow. This took quiet some time to realise that this was the problem.

But it is great to have a hypervisor to play around with, test different things in containers or vms and if you mess things up, just spin up another in a few seconds and try it again. It just feels less impactfull than reinstalling all stuff on one machine.

And you learn a lot about networks along the way if you aren’t already familliar with it.

I have written a mail to the shop and asked them how to supply the power and if it is even possible with a picoPsu. If not, I guess I will take a Asrock instead. Using a regular ATX psu only for the one connector somehow feels not purposeful 🤷🏻‍♂️

Thank you for your answer. the picoPSU is the next point that causes headaches. I have two questions about the pico.

How to calculate how much energy is needed without knowing how much the board needs? My actual HDDs and planed parts are:

• 2x 6TB WD Red WD60EFAX -> and I found the use 5.3W under load what means even with four of them they only need 21,2W
• a NVME like the WD Blue SN570 with max consumption of 3,75W
• a fan (maybe an be quiet! Silent Wings 4 PWM 120mm) for the case with round about 4W by max Speed sums up to 27,95W But the information about the power consumption for the board is missing.

It seems like a 80 watts picoPSU should be sufficent. What I don’t understand is, how can I supply the power with this psu when it is a 24-pin ATX but the board needs only 4-Pin-ATX?

Ah ok. Asrock is now an option too. Knowing they can handle 16gb of ram is a game changing information. It was the single argument against them. Because the price is much better.

My old NAS was a Synology DS213j.
