Hello again! Faster here that I’m expected!

Would you look at my docker info:

And what should I say, it was very easy! So as mentioned, Debian 11 is my LXC template

  1. docker compose down on everyon my containers
  2. shutdown Container over Proxmox GUI
  3. Enable FUSE in the Container Features. Which means on my unprivileged Container are nesting and fuse enabled
  4. installed package fuse-overlayfs on the machine and rebooted again
  5. New Storage driver was active. Last step was to delete everything on /var/lib/docker/vfs and /var/lib/docker/image/vfs

One thing I have to mention! My docker compose files had static mounts for the external data! Which means:

    volumes:
      - /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro
      - /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock:ro
      - ./portainer-data:/data

and did not let manage docker the volumes! For that I don’t lose my data! If anybody use the volume management from docker, please backup you files first before docker compose down! AND IMPORTANT see what happend to me in #13

Well, Now I have to repead this step for my 20 LXC Container :slight_smile: But huge thanks to you @meyay for the detective work! Without I wouldn’t be ableto make that switch. Maybe then I don’t waste a lot of space now and habe a more stable system :slight_smile:

I would like to give @meyay the solution checkmark, but since I wrote it down on thos post I would checkmark this post here for other people searching for that solution.
