[Newbie] LXC Containers in Proxmox
by hodak from LinuxQuestions.org on (#564RQ)
Ok until late last year i'm a complete Linux newbie so do excuse me if my questions seem rudimentary and somewhat bizarre/silly as the 1st thing after i tried to educate myself on the various linux distros and features is to try to understand Virtualisation. I've only played with QEMU/Virtualbox inside a linux OS but now i am seriously considering a Type 1 Hypervisor and installing linux distro as my 24/7 OS and Windows 10 as a back up VM in case i absolutely have to run windows only software? Now i am starting to learn about passing thru GPUs and other stuff but i am still confused about a HV i am keen on namely Proxmox and its "LXC Containers" features? My basic questions are
#1 These templates are "mini OSes" that rely on Proxmox linux kernel to run apps?
#2 How much resources does a user know to allocate to template/containers?
#3 Can i have one machine with Proxmox + LXC template installed serve multiple clients at the same time? Do they consume the same or less resources compared to a VM?
#4 Can a machine run VMs *and* LXC Containers at the same time serving local and remote clients?
