Turn one Proxmox container into a Docker host that boots in seconds, restores cleanly, and keeps DNS under control.

Three default OCI LXC settings can break DNS, firewall, and backups before your first production request hits service.

A dead node need not mean a dead container; a spare node can take over with a verified restore and Docker check.

The traps that break OCI LXC at 2 a.m. are boring: backups, kernel updates, and storage you can fix in staging.

OCI containers bring real systemd init to LXC, giving Docker predictable cgroup management without the full VM cost.

Most new Proxmox clusters miss two critical settings that silently drain resources — here's how to flip them before your first guest boots.
