My friend wants to:
Setup 10 individual VMs on proxmox. They would all be Ubuntu 22.04.
Then he wants to install docker on each one.
Then install one individual docker container per app per VM.
So for example VM1 is Nextcloud, VM2 is Bookstack, VM3 is Authentik, so on and so forth
He wants to do this segment it even more so that if a container were to get compromised and all of the services were on one VM and if they somehow got into the vm and destroyed it, atleast that would only affect one service instead of all of them. (This is why we have backups. I explained this)
But he's pressed on this.
So I guess my question here is.....is this a waste of time/resources? Would it actually pose any benefit in the name of security?
I thought it was silly but like....he sort of has a point? A stretch of one....
