• It’s not an either-or scenario. Running services in Docker/Podman is great and makes a lot of sense, as you’ve found. But there’s no reason the OS running those Docker containers can’t be a VM on a hypervisor like Proxmox. Then you get the simplicity of Docker, in addition to the isolation and segmentation (network and process) provided by VMs, and snapshot-based incremental backups from PBS. It’s the best of both worlds. You wouldn’t have a VM per service like you ran before, instead you’d have a VM per group of related services with common networking and security requirements. For example, all of your publicly exposed services can run in Docker in their own isolated VM that’s walled off from the rest of your network, while your internal-only services also run in Docker, but on a separate VM on your internal network.

• Should be, but it’s not. It’s discrimination, but discrimination is perfectly legal as long as it’s not done on the basis of one of the handful of protected classes (race, sex, religion, etc.)
