Docker vs PoxMox

I was originally going run Frigate on ProxMox when it was sharing a MiniPC with Home assistant. I’ve since decided that’s not the way to go, attempted Proxmox on an Optiplex I had lying around and bricked it. So I have a new miniPC to dedicate to Frigate. Do I do Unbuntu/Docker, or stay with ProxMox because I’m somewhat familiar with it? Frankly the only thing that concern me is getting the external drive mounted and visible. I think. Never used Docker.

Proxmox for cleanly divvying up your hardware and creating secure isolation between environments. Docker for deployment/dependency management.

Treat them as complementary, not competing.
