Basic docker networking? (lemm.ee)

Hi guys! I'm going at my first docker attempt...and I'm going in Proxmox. I created an LXC container, from which I installed docker, and portainer. Portainer seems happy to work, and shows its admin page on port 9443 correctly. I tried next running the image of immich, following the steps detailed in their own guide. This...doesn't seem to open the admin website on port 2283. But then again, it seems to run in its own docker internal network (172.16.0.x). How should I reach immich admin page from another computer in the same network? I'm new to Docker, so I'm not sure how are images supposed to communicate within the normal computer network...Thanks!

Add a new VM, install docker-ce on it and slowly migrate all the other containers/vm‘s to docker. End result is way less overhead, way less complexity and way better sleep.

Thanks...So you think a full VM will result in less overhead than a container? How so? I mean, the VM will take a bunch of extra RAM and extra overhead by running a full kernel by itself...

I was assuming you were able to get rid of the other 5 VM‘s by doing so. If not, obviously you would have not less overhead.

Yeah, the ones being VMs cannot be transferred easily to containers...I would have done so over to LXC, as it's been my preferred choice until now. But Home Assistant was deployed over a VM template provided by HA, and the windows VMs...well, they're Windows. I also have an ancient nginx/seafile install that I'm a bit afraid to move to LXC, but at some point I'll get to it. Having Immich for pictures would reduce a bit the size of some of the Seafile libraries :)

My HA is running in docker. It is easier than you might think. Forget about LXC. And just take your time migrating the stuff and only when the service works in docker, you can shut off the VM. Believe me, management of docker is way easier than 5 VM‘s with different OS‘s. Docker Compose is beautiful and easy.

If you need help, just message me, I might be able to give you a kickstart
