Proxmox/Docker is inferior to Unraid (rammy.site)

I'm trying to get back into self hosting. I had previously used Unraid and it worked well to run VMs where needed and Docker containers whenever possible. This biggest benefit is that there is an easy way to give each container it's own IP so you don't have to worry about port conflicts. Nobody else does this for Docker as far as I can tell and after trying multiple "guides", none of them work unless you're using some ancient and very specific hardware and software situation. I give up. I'm going back to Unraid that just works. No more Docker compose errors because it's Ubuntu host is using some port requiring me to disable key features.

It's always about choosing the right tool for the job/use case. If all you need is a machine with some storage and to run a few services and you like how unraid works then it's the right tool.

For a lot of other use cases it's the complete opposite and unraid is seen as a pile of garbage.
