@servarica_hani Can I use docker with Disabled VM-x/AMD-V?

yes on vps you can run docker , many users do it

on dedicated servers you can do whatever you want as well

cloud · December 2022

Can I ask people who bought storage plans, what are you using to run backups and how well is it doing on these servers?

Docker is containerization, not virtualization. As long as the VPS is using KVM or Xen, it doesn't require the host to do any special configuration. The same goes for LXC/LXD if you ever want to use it.

Where's the best place for me to learn about using docker? There's so many projects on GitHub that I want to install

Start by installing it and making sure the hello-world image runs: https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/debian/

then you can just search Google for "Docker tutorial" I think linuxserver.io have a decent overview in their docs.

For production usage, you should learn about "Docker Compose", which lets you provide a list of Docker containers in a docker-compose.yml file, and easily start/stop/upgrade them.

If you want it to be a bit easier, you can use a UI like Portainer to manage your Docker images.

Good advice. I found it useful to start with the official documentation and some videos on LinkedIn Learning to get an overview of Docker and then jump into working with it in a test environment.

Let me just say, as someone who runs containers in a truly production-critical setting (i.e. our container goes down, so do assembly lines and safety systems), docker-compose is a pain in the ass for repeatable and reliable deployments which must work with 100% certainty with zero deviation. It looks like that's what it's for, but there are so many edge cases that make it unsuitable.

Also, from a security perspective, you probably should be trying to run rootless podman containers instead of docker. One huge benefit is that podman is trivial to run from systemd services. Docker is inherently unsuitable for managing containers from a systemd unit. (Dependencies, permissions, etc.) And a rootless container helps ensure good system hygiene even within your containers. You don't leave your web server running as root, so why the rest of the things you're running?

Podman Getting Started: https://podman.io/getting-started/

Another huge benefit to going with Podman is that it leaves you closer to your containers "just working" in any Kubernetes environment when you get there. A number of Kubernetes distributions (especially those related to Red Hat/OpenShift) highly encourage not running your containers as root, to avoid accidental cross-container communication or escalation on the host.

Also, for the most part, it's as easy as alias docker=podman in your shell profile to switch from Docker to Podman!

Interesting, I will have to take a closer look at that.

Thanks for this very helpful information. I'll take your advice, although right now mine isn't production.
