So if you want to run Docker on Proxmox, then the recommended way to do that is to create a virtual machine and then run Docker inside that VM – but – really ? Run a Linux VM on Linux and then run Docker inside that VM? There must be a better solution. Yes – Even though the documentation doesn’t say so, you can run Docker inside a container on Proxmox. All you have to do is that either you make the container privileged by unticking “Unprivileged Container” or – if you want an unprivileged container – you go to the container’s options and tick those two boxes under Features: keyctl and Nesting.
