Having used this to manage my home Proxmox setup before I migrated to Unraid, the management and setup scripts are a huge help. I’d also highly recommend the LXC container scripts, they even have one for generic docker containers which lets you run nearly every service in a separate LXC.

I turned my proxmox server off as I look to transition to something much less power hungry (still have my Unraid up) but I set up portainer in a turnkey environment and was setting up all my docker apps through there. Is it better to use separate LXCs?

It's not a huge difference, the advantage of individualized LXC's is you can make backups of them. If you run 1 VM with all your docker stuff you can't as easily restore an individual service if you mess something up.
