Home Server/LXC vs Docker
LXC and Docker are both Linux containerization systems, but take radically different approaches.
Contents
Full System Virtualization
LXC provides a full system virtualization, which means it includes the full OS, whereas Docker only packages the application and its dependencies.
More Like a Traditional Virtual Machine
LXC behaves more like a traditional virtual machine, which can be beneficial for applications that require full OS functionality.
Flexibility
LXC is more flexible in terms of the types of applications it can support. It can run any application that can run on a Linux server, whereas Docker is more suited to stateless, microservice-based applications.
Better for Legacy Applications
LXC is often a better choice for legacy applications that weren't designed with containerization in mind.
Persistent Storage
LXC makes it easier to manage persistent storage, which can be a complicated with Docker.
Learning Curve
LXC is often considered easier to learn and use than Docker, especially for those already familiar with Linux systems.
