What is the most efficient way to run a docker container inside LXC?

[shodan]

I imagine there is already an LXC container out there perfectly designed to run one docker container inside ?

Since most distributed containers are in docker form, that seems like the fastest way to do it if you only use LXC ?

Or, if there is an automatic process to convert a docker container into an LXC container, I imagine that would be a lot better but I guess this does not exist or I simply cannot find it ?

I have a single dedicated proxmox computer, I don’t want to run docker in parrallel on the base OS and I don’t want to create a full VM for every single docker container I need to run. There simply isn’t enough ram to do that.

A community tool got released quite recently, i cant attest to it usefulness but might be of interest to you

Lxdocker: convert docker images to LXD images

Okay nobody likes self-advertising but given the amount of docker-related questions both here and elsewhere I thought this might be useful to somebody For various reasons stated in the README I didn’t find using docker(or podman) acceptable on my homeserver. It mostly boils down to LXD being superior in both security and device-forwarding. While I agree that LXDs scope shouldn’t be extended to system containers, it can be useful. So I found this post, was disappointed that …

Thanks I will try this out !

I was hoping to find ready made LXC container, but I cannot find a repository with the stuff I need.

So maybe I will be able to download docker containers and run them in proxmox with this !
