To be fair, you could easily create a Linux VM or a container and run
Docker in there. I started with a bare Linux VM to host Docker
containers, migrated over to a Linux LXC container to run
Docker/portainer.

Proxmox' web UI is pretty nice, and clustering is handy. Not sure why
you'd pass that up to run KVM/Qemu (which is what Proxmox is doing in
the background)

I don't have HA configured, but when I need to take a node down for
maintenance I can manually move the nodes to my "spare" node, do
whatever I need, then move them back.
