Data storage for containers in LCX / VM (lemmy.world)

I run my containers in an LCX on Proxmox (yes I heard I should use a VM, but it works..)

For data storage (syncthing, jellyfin ..) I make volumes in the LXC. But I was wondering if this is the best way?

I started thinking about restoring backups. The docker backups can get quite large with all the user data. I was wondering if a separate "NAS" VM and NFS shares makes more sense. Then restoring/cloning docker lxc would be faster, for troubleshooting. And the user data I could restore separately.

What do you guys do?

Acronyms, initialisms, abbreviations, contractions, and other phrases which expand to something larger, that I've seen in this thread:

LXC	Linux Containers
Plex	Brand of media server package
VPN	Virtual Private Network

3 acronyms in this thread; the most compressed thread commented on today has 10 acronyms.
