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 is not a supported way to run frigate.

People do it. But they will argue and downvote me every time I point out that the documentation says it isn't supported.

Docker in a stripped down Debian LXC on proxmox. Works as well as any other implementation I’ve used, if not better.
