House of Logic
Welcome to the House of Logic Technology Blog
Lemmy from Motorhead was once asked what they brought to heavy rock, to which he replied 'Nothing, nada, zero. We brought nothing, we took it away...And what we left was real.' The House of Logic blog is intended to take this approach - cut to the chase, skip the dead air, and take away the nonsense and hype on actually how to use tech for what you want to get done.

Proxmox LXC
The primary usage for Proxmox Virtualisation Environment is, unsurprisingly given the name, virtualisation - running virtual machines on host nodes, to make best use of the available resources. However, for those looking for something more lightweight than VMs, Proxmox does include an additional feature set in the form of LXC - Linux Containers. Whilst Docker container storage is immutable, with only mounted files, folders and volumes changing and persisting between container runs, LXC’s storage differs, and consists of one or more mounted volumes which can change and be updated in the same way that a Virtual Machine’s storage can be updated.
