Hopping in here to mention Proxmox Helper Scripts . They have many scripts that help you set up LXCs with software you may be using, including the full aar stack.

I tend to test things in a dedicated new VM, to get a feel for it, make sure I need to add it to my permanent services. If it does, I try to find a way to run it via LXC, and if that is too complicated/won’t work, I have a dedicated docker VM I throw it on. Everyone will answer the “LXC/VM/Docker” question differently, and they will all be correct. What is easiest for you is the right way.

I run a VM with opnsense as my network firewall. Moved it from a hardware install. I don’t see any issues, and there are loads of times it’s saved my ass having it backed up as a VM.

Slam as much ram as you can afford/fit inside the computer too. Every time I think I have enough, I always find I have need/use for more.
