  • Not saying I don’t believe you, but do you have any examples where changing the external port causes an issue? I change the port on almost every single docker container from what the default is. To be clear, I’m referring to the left side of the colon in the port declaration:

    
    ports:
          - 12080:80
    

    I should also clarify I don’t use LXC containers. My background had me more familiar with VMs so I went that route. I’ve never felt like I’m performing surgery when deploying containers, but I have seen other complaints around docker networking that I’ve apparently been lucky enough to avoid.

    Like I said though, do what works best for you. I don’t mind tinkering to get things tuned just right, which causes some friction with unRAID. I’ve invested enough time an energy for this where I just have to spin up a proxmox VM and pass the IP to a few Ansible playbooks I wrote to get to a healthy base state and then start deploying my docker containers. I recognize not everyone wants to do this though.


  • I’m confused on why you need a unique IP per VM/container. You can change the “external” port in your docker compose and be fine.

    I initially tried unRAID on bare metal but hated not being able to use versions of docker I wanted and using stuff that wasn’t in the community repo.

    I currently run unRAID as a proxmox vm (passing through my lsi card and USB for the OS) and it works flawlessly. I didn’t even have to reinstall since I passed through the necessary components it used when it was bare metal.

    Ultimately, use what works best for you but I do have to disagree that proxmox/docker is inferior.
