So recently Proxmox 9.1 introduced basic support for OCI images, the same used by Docker. It’s still not fully formed, like support for compose or updating containers.
I’m still learning more about this. Is there anyone who’s considering switching or have already switched a service from Docker/Podman?
Cool even though it’s just an import from OCI registry and run as LXC.
I have been considering Proxmox for sometime; maybe will jump to 9.2 by when this matures.
After watching TechnoTim’s video on PVE OCI feature, I tried using Welcome to 2FAuth Docs - 2FAuth Docs but wasn’t able to get it running at all. Shutdown/Restart option doesn’t work at all. To restart, had to Stop the container and Start it again.
One thing I liked that the environment section auto populated with the variables, so didn’t have to add them one by one. But funnily enough, there was no scroll in that environment dialog UI, so you won’t be able to see all the variables at once.
Major missing features are obviously compose and updating existing containers.
It’s very early days for OCI feature but promising, I’ll surely move my docker container once it’s fully stable.
For sure. Looks like it’s still more of a “technical preview” than being of any practical use.
Good time to learn more about how containerisation works while I wait for the next release, I guess. I only have a surface-level understanding of this, so I don’t really know what “running an OCI image as an LXC container” means.
