Hello, im trying to run Ubuntu as full fledged Ubuntu, like installing ubuntu on portainer docker and use it like its own machine, but when i install ubuntu the container never starts any idea why? Not ubuntu but any os in general but if i run the command with docker it works fine

    Hm, Docker isn’t very good at this. It’s good at runnign one process or a few related processes with a smaller init system like S6, but not good at running a full system with its own init and system handlers.

    Lots of stuff will break, because it’s expected that a lot of system-level initialization will be taking place. Docker is too opinionated when it comes to this, because it expects to be running on a system that has already been initialized.

    Look to LXC or LXD. It’s more appropriate for this, and while it’s a container system it’s more like virtualization than application containerization. It’s also designed to be mutable, which is the main limitation you’re running up against.
