I created a Docker container of Proxmox VE. This makes it extremely easy to install Proxmox on existing systems, and to play around with it before deciding on dedicating a whole machine to it.

The performance should be identical to a normal barebones install, as the virtual machines are directly accesing the KVM kernel module, there are no extra layers in between or anything like that.

I can understand many of you are opposed by the idea of containerizing Proxmox, as the concept feels a bit weird. But I think it might be very handy for newcomers, and especially for those who have experience with Docker but not with Proxmox. As it lowers the entry barrier a lot if you can spin up an instance so easily.

If you'd like to try it out, it is now available from https://github.com/dockur/proxmox and https://hub.docker.com/r/dockurr/proxmox
