Remy Van Elst ☛ Finally, run Docker containers natively in Proxmox 9.1 (OCI images)
Proxmox VE is a virtualization platform, like VMWare, but open source, based on Debian. It can run KVM virtual machines and GNU/Linux Containers (LXC). I've been using it for over 10 years, the [first article I wrote mentioning it was in 2012](/s/tags/proxmox.html). At home I have a 2 node Proxmox VE cluster consisting of 2 HP EliteDesk Mini machines, both running with 16 GB RAM and both an NVMe and SATA SSD with ZFS on root (256 GB). It's small enough (physically) and is just enough for my homelab needs specs wise. Proxmox VE 9.1 was released [recently](https://www.proxmox.com/en/about/company-details/press-releases/proxmox-virtual-environment-9-1) and this new version is able to run Docker containers / OCI images natively, no more hacks or VM's required to run docker. This post shows you how to run a simple container from a docker image.

ZDNet ☛ My 8 must-use Linux commands, and how they can make your life easier
Before we begin, I want to be clear: Using the command line is not a requirement for using Linux. I mention this because the idea of typing commands tends to scare off new users, and my goal -- for years -- has been to introduce people to the open-source operating system.
After using Linux for over two decades, I'm totally comfortable with the command line and tend to default to it for certain things. I do this because I find the command line to be more efficient than using a GUI. I can leave a terminal window open at all times and perform tasks without needing to take my hands off the keyboard.
