Docker Swarm in LXC Containers

Part of collection: Hyper-converged Homelab with Proxmox

After struggling for some days, and since I really needed this to work (ignoring the it can't be done vibe everywhere), I managed to get Docker to work reliable in privileged Debian 12 LXC Containers on Proxmox 8

(Unfortunately, I couldn't get anything to work in unprivileged LXC Containers)

There are NO modifications required on the Proxmox host or the /etc/pve/lxc/xxx.conf file; everything is done on the Docker Swarm host. So the only obvious candidate who could break this setup, are future Docker Engine updates!

These instructions are for implementing HTTPS on a NFSN-hosted static site using a certificate from Let's Encrypt. The certificate is generated manually on a separate computer.

Start off by installing the letsencrypt client. This requires sudo privileges and will install a bunch of packages:

% curl -O https://dl.eff.org/certbot-auto
% chmod +x ./certbot-auto
% ./certbot-auto

Generate the certificate. This will require you to publish some challenge responses on NFSN. I find it easiest to use tmux with letsencrypt running in one window and an SSH session to NFSN in another:
