Let's put things into perspective:
- You make the video
- You maintain a blog with the documentation
- You explain issues and reasons
- I perform the process and everything works (when I needed to clear out some doubts, I went to your documentation, and everything was there)

LOVELY JOB !

First time i watch one of your videos and it's great! Just like your wiki. What a fantastic resource to have! You sir can definitely have my subscription! Thanks!

I did the same, a few weeks back using ubuntu server template, as I wasn't aware of turnkey core template. Also, instead of adding the Portainer host, I simply installed the Portainer *agent* (a single command), and connected it to an existing Portainer Environment that I have running on an old bare-metal Ubuntu server. Now I can view/access/modify (using a single Portainer view), all my docker containers running on multiple VM's and in multiple Proxmox LXC's (each running docker and the portainer agent). It's not a Docker swarm, or a Kubernetes cluster, but for my simple home-lab needs, it works GREAT!

Got it working just fine following your instructions on Proxmox 8.0.3. I used Debian 11 for my container because I want the reliable and long-lasting support. Thanks so much for the guide!!

I rebuilt my docker setup this week and used the ubuntu 22.04 container template. its small and fast. So far its had no issues. All of my virtualization is handled in proxmox because its just so easy.

Awesome. Straight forward and good audio. Thanks. Love the wiki too

my first docker experience, 10years in IT learn something new every day.

Excellent! I'm new with Proxmox and this helped a lot. Well done. Many thanks!

If turnkey core isnt showing up for you, likely if you have a fresh install then:

Step 1. Open shell
Step 2. run "pveam update"
Step 3. Watch this video.

Now I can finally get rid of my full qemu vms running docker, nice!

I never find time to really work with docker maybe this will help me find the time grate video

I tried several different guides and was hitting a wall -- all kinds of weird stuff happening. I nearly dropped back and punted and used VMs instead. THIS guide was the one that worked for me (PVE 7..3-3)

By the way, this approach still works with Proxmox V8. Great video: succinct and to the point.

[kenicholl]

Thanks, eh? I was very close, but missed the proxmox settings. Much appreciated!

[twstony]

Thank you so much, this worked perfectly
