So I'm extremely new to self hosting, and just got Proxmox installed on a mini pc. One thing that confuses me is how many damn methods there are to host something.

Perusing this sub, r/selfhosted, and r/homelab, I've seen people host via

LXC
Docker container in an LXC
VM
VM with portainer/other docker container service

I've read a few explanations, but what I'd really appreciate is if you guys could give examples of what specific services you guys host with what method and why. Pretend like I'm 5 if you could.

Thanks in advance!
