# 4. Docker VM on top of Proxmox Workflow

This workflow is the flow that I use for my personal setup. The reason this is my favorite is because I love the simplicity and the universality of docker compose files. Any open source application page has a docker compose file for their application. The reason being since it is standardized. It may look daunting at first to see a YAML file but really there is not so much to it. It will be the same patterns over and over again ;)

<span>Plus what is most amazing is that by using Dockhand I can easily make all my docker containers i.e apps update automatically or receive a notification when a new update is available. In this way I always keep my apps up to date. </span>

Finally it also allows me to see all apps in one dashboard and provide me with the the total resources used for all the applications running in that VM.

<span>Provide me notifications when my resources are almost empty or when something fails. </span>
