LXC vs LXD vs Proxmox Containers vs Docker::

|

LXC is a userspace interface for the Linux kernel containment

features. Through a powerful API and simple tools, it lets Linux users easily
|
||||
create and manage system containers.

features. Through a powerful API and simple tools, it lets Linux users

easily create and manage system containers. LXC, as well as the former
|
||||
OpenVZ, aims at *system virtualization*, i.e. allows you to run a
|

complete OS inside a container, where you log in as ssh, add users,

run apache, etc...

|

LXD is building on top of LXC to provide a new, better user experience. Under
|

the hood, LXD uses LXC through liblxc and its Go binding to create and manage
|
||||
the containers. It's basically an alternative to LXC's tools and distribution
|
||||
template system with the added features that come from being controllable over
|

the network.

Proxmox VE aims at system virtualization, and thus uses LXC as the basis of its
|

own container offer. LXC provides countless options, and it would be too
|

difficult to use LXC tools directly. Instead, we provide a small wrapper called
|
||||
`pct`, the "Proxmox Container Toolkit", using LXC as a low-level library.
|
||||
Proxmox Containers also aims at *system virtualization*, and thus uses
|
||||
LXC as the basis of its own container offer. The Proxmox Container
|
||||
Toolkit is called 'pct', and is tightly coupled with {pve}. That means
|
||||
that it is aware of the cluster setup, and it can use the same network
|
||||
and storage resources as fully virtualized VMs. You can even use the
|
||||
{pve} firewall, create and restore backups, or manage containers using
|
||||
the HA framework. Everything can be controlled over the network using
|
||||
the {pve} API.

Docker aims at running a *single* application running in a contained

||||
environment. Hence you're managing a docker instance from the host with the

docker toolkit.

docker toolkit. It is not recommended to run docker directly on your

{pve} host.

NOTE: You can however perfectly install and use docker inside a Proxmox Qemu

VM, and thus getting the benefit of software containerization with the very
