Install the proxmox iso directly on the hardware. Then setup a Debian without DE in a vm to run docker. Use Portainer to manage Docker containers.
Storage can then be assigned via Proxmox to the vm’s that need it.
Excellent suggestion, although I would look at using Dockge instead of Portainer these days. It's very new and a little more feature limited, but it does a much better job of actually explaining how and why things are failing. If you're new at Docker then Portainer is a nightmare because all it does is scream "WRONG" and then storm off if you so much as put a single typo.
Perfect description of my experiences with portainer. I didn't know about dockge and it looks very promising! Thanks
This is what I do, but with alma instead of debian.
Proxmox can run containers directly, but I haven't tried it yet.
Pretty sure Proxmox only supports LXC containers, not OCI
You could install docker with proxmox, it's just debian after all, then you could install portainer to visualize them. I just don't think it's a good practice to install docker directly on a hypervisor, too much risk to screw something up and then you may need to reinstall everything affecting all other VMs.
You could however install docker on a lxc. Not the easiest approach but less risky.
Edit: or Dockge in your case
