Does LXC support Docker by default?

I found that a provider's LXC doesn't seem to be able to run docker properly.
Does LXC need additional settings to enable Docker support?

    Hello!
    Yes, we did something like this at host level to enable Docker usage for our LXC containers: https://du.nkel.dev/blog/2021-03-25_proxmox_docker/

    I do not believe LXC is intended for that purpose. As the name implies, it's a container just like how Docker is also a type of container as well.

    You will either need a provider who provides Hardware Based Virtualization (think KVM as the most common, HW-Xen, Vmware and etc are options too though). Or you could "risk" yourself with a OpenVZ provider who got the proper kernel installed.

    By default nested virt is disabled, which you need for docker.
    Especially if its a privileged container, you should not enable it.
