Proxmox is a hypervisor. I would install that as your os if that is something you want.
If you just need containers, podman is good. Docker is fine, but podman is open source.
That being said, I run proxmox on my server and have various vms running. I have a laptop that I will use to play with containers and if it turns into a service I want I’ll make it run on proxmox, either as a container itself or as something running on a VM on the hypervisor
