This video details how to create a LXC as well as some of the pros and cons of doing so. Please refer to the official documentation for more information regarding options.

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. I have to add that, for a non-English speaker like me, your cadence in speaking and your pronunciation help a lot to understand what you are saying. Good job. 👍
Great video thank you and subscribed 🙂 Would you recommend using LXCs to host game servers? I've managed to secure them pretty well using iptables rules.
Yes do a video on igpu passthru
Good video, as much as I know another difference is that VMs restart automatically after migration (cluster) and LXC container have to be started manually, right?
Is there a way to upgrade an OS in a container? I don't think do-distr upgrade works
I look forward to the day you post a video on NixOS. NixOS is the future to linux computing. Hope you look into it and start making videos about it.
Thank you James, As always, excellent and with comprehensive explanations.👌 👍
Nice!
My only concern here is how the lifecycle is. When using docker I have watchtower for many of my containers and for the critical ones it is just a manual docker compose pull (or the Portainer GUI).
Let's say a move them all to individual LXC containers. Now what? I've seen many of these videos, but no one addresses this important fact.
Cheers!
Why do people always think in "better" or "worse" terms? Please do not implement clickbite titles on your channel.
Things are just different, something can be more efficient in some kind situations but not in certain use cases.
Besides this good educational video, I will share this to my students. 🙏🙏
Thanks. Great video
Thank you for this
Started watching on the OPNsense setup video and it was very helpful, thank you! I've been wanting to setup Jellyfin in an LXC for GPU transcoding, but it seems like a hassle. Would love a video on it like you mentioned!
Very good, as usual 👍🏻.
why not just use kvm, most linux system already come with this and it's pretty easy to setup and use it.
I hear: "Hey everybody…." and I click like! Jim's Garage should have 100k subscribers
I've run the turnkey-gitea template and I've found the they tend to leg behind in software updates, by a few versions.
Reminds me of Solaris Zones
Was looking forward to this video, your explanations are great!
This is so scary every time I’m working with any product, Jim comes around the corner and makes a video about it. Superb!
I would really want a guide to install ansible awx on a single node k3s LXC without much hassle, is this even possible? I tried multiple guides with no luck
11:24 AFAIK your LXCs will use the swap space of your Proxmox VE host, if it doesn't have swap set up, the LXC will likely get killed trying to allocate any swap.
LXC is very useful. I've ran both containers and VMs using LXC (yes including a windows VM) issues is that it's it's great for creating and testing systems locally but it's intentionally a total pain in the posterior to "expose" a container to the network. I did use a rpi3b running alpineOS to run a few basic containers I could access from the internet to test things.
1:09 This is true, however, it is possible to run a Linux userland in a FreeBSD jail :^)
I've overtime moved all of my VMs to be LXC. They just do everything so quick. Boot in seconds so small easy to back up and migrate.
I woud like to see K3s on LXC
One problem you may hit if you are on AMD and passing hardware acceleration to jellyfin or frigate , to pass your GPU with PCIe passthrough you blacklist nvidia and radeon , amdgpu drivers etc.
So stopped the hardware acceleration from the GPU until I removed the radeon & amdgpu from the blacklist.
excellent easy to follow guide as always. i would be interested to see you setup k3s using lxc
I love this Proxmox videos! Keep up the good work!
Excellent. Question: how much thinner is an LXC vs a VM? That is to say, if a Debian install as a VM is X megabytes, how much smaller is the LXC install?
I have started with Proxmox with VMs only as it was much easier to work with (for the newbie like me).
But now, I move almost everything to LXC.
Lighter but most importantly: I feel much better with IP management – rather than assigning MACVLAN in docker (in VM).
Sharing the storage sometimes is an issue but once you know how to it is easy.
But still there is a place for VMs there.
