I currently have a server running Arch Linux and Jellyfin, one Raspberry Pi 4 running NextCloudPi and one Raspi running Pi-hole. Eventually I want to host all and more services on one maschine.
I thought about using Proxmox and Docker, but I’m not sure what the ideal setup would look like. For now I thought I use Proxmox and a simple Debian VM which I run Docker on and running Portainer, Pi-hole, Nextcloud, a reverse proxy and Jellyfin as Docker containers?
Is that a smart setup? It gives me the ease of using Docker and a easy way of creating backups of single applications or the whole VM, leaving me with the possibility to add container or VMs for various other services, for testing etc. Or should I just use LXC for said applications?
Any guidance would be appreciated!

EDIT: In case my comment was overlooked. Thanks for all your comments, I’ll see how I implement things when I get the time to reinstall my server.

    Don’t install docker in a LXC when proxmox runs on ZFS (which it has to when you want to set up a HA cluster with VM migration capabilities). Also you’ll run into problems with file access rights when using NFSv4 ACLs (instead of chmod) on the datasets. If you wanna store and share a lot of data, maybe look into using TrueNAS SCALE as the Hypervisor.
