There is a post about getting overwhelmed by 15 containers and people not wanting to turn the post into a container measuring contest.
But now I am curious, what are your counts? I would guess those of you running k*s would win out by pod scaling
docker ps | wc -l
For those wanting a quick count.
- Because I’m old, crusty, and prefer software deployments in a similar manner.
I salute you and wish you the best in never having a dependency conflict.
I’ve been resolving them since the late 90s, no worries.
I use Debian
My worst dependency conflict was a libcurlssl error when trying to build on a precompiled base docker image.
Zero. Either it’s just a service with no wrappers, or a full VM.
40 containers behind traefik, but I did just add a new sablier middleware to stop when iddle and start when first requested. Electricity is not cheap for me. But i got lucky to add 64GB RAM in my NAS and 128GB Ram in Desktop last march before prices went crazy

Would you mind expounding on this? Electricity is fairly affordable in my locale, however I’ve been on a mission to cut out consumption when it’s not needed. Have you noticed an ROI?
yes as most service sleep, and time to spin them up is fast. Moreover some services continuously poll folders and avoid disks to sleep. Letting disks sleep the whole night is a good idea if not in use, this won’t shorten their lifespan.
In here it is .30 pro Kwh

Ouch!
I still haven’t figured out containers. 🙁

64 containers in total, 60 running - the remaining 4 are Watchtowers that I run manually whenever I feel like it (and have time to fix things if something should break).
What tool is that screenshot from?
11 running on my little N150 box. Barely ever breaks a sweat.
I don’t use them. I’m using OpenBSD on my server which don’t support this feature.
None, if it’s not in a Debian repo I don’t deploy it on my stable server.
It’s not really about docker itself, I just don’t think software has married enough if it’s not packaged properly
There is a post about getting overwhelmed by 15
I made the comment ‘Just 15’ in jest. It doesn’t matter to me. Run 1, run 100. The comment was just poking the bear as it were. No harm nor foul intended. Sorry if it was received differently.
- There are usually one or two of those that are just experimental and might get trashed.
35 stacks 135 images 71 containers
31 Containers in all. I have been up as high as ~60 and have paired it back removing the things I wasn’t using.
I also tend to remove anything that uses appreciable CPU at idle and I rarely run applications that require further containers in a stack just to boot, my needs aren’t that heavy.
Right now I’m at 33 with 3 stopped I haven’t used in a while. Also got 3 VMs running. A handful are duplicates eg redis/postgresql/photon/caddy
3 that I’m actually using, on my “Home Server” (Raspberry Pi).
One day I will be migrating the work stuff on VPS over to Docker, and then we’ll see who has the most!
61 containers in 26 docker files.
