  1. proxmox-create-docker-ct

    Run each docker-compose.yml inside one unprivileged LXC container, on Proxmox (PVE).

    I use ubuntu-22.04-standard. I specify it in the source code file cli.ts of my tool linked above. I tried with alpine, and I think Debian too, first. But the quite slim Ubuntu image was easiest to get Docker + Docker Compose installed and running in.
