Hello selfhosted community, something weird just happened to my setup while running a routine update.
I’m running docker containers on a couple Debian LXCs through Proxmox, and a regular apt-get upgrade just wiped all my configurations. Somehow it seems to have gutted my databases and deleted the compose.yml files without a trace remaining. Thankfully all my data seems to be intact as far as I can tell.
Did I royally mess something up in all of my configurations or in doing the update? This has never happened to me before. Thankfully I have a backup for the configs that’s about 6 days old, but it’s still extremely annoying. Any hints? Thanks
Hints? Don’t use Docker for your own sake. Why would you, you’re already running LXC containers, just setup whatever you need inside those and you’re good to go with way less overhead and bloat.
While you’re at that, did you know that the creators of LXC have a solution called LXD/Incus that is way better at managing LXD containers and can also create and VMs? For what’s worth is a 100% free and open-source solution that can be installed on any clean Debian 12 setup from their repository and doesn’t require 1000 different daemons like Proxmox does nor does it constantly nags for a license. :)
