Paraphrasing from an Internet forum:

"I can knock a burglar out by hitting him with a television. That does not mean a television set is a good weapon."

Proxmox has absolutely Zero support for docker based tech because docker is out of the scope of what Proxmox tries to do. You can bolt it on. I can also knock a burglar out dropping a Proxmox server on him. Proxmox is all about VMs and LXC.

I mean I also have "some" docker running on PVE infrastructure, but if I wanted to run docker only I would consider something else. Heck most domestic dockers you can run with docker-compose and not much else. And if you want something heavier then you have Rancher and the like.
