Yo,

Wandering what the limit is when it comes to how many containers I can run. Currently I’m running around 15 containers. What happens if this is increased to say, 40? Also, can docker containers go “idle” when not being used - to save system resources?

I’m running a i7-6700k Intel cpu. Doesn’t seem to be struggling at all with my current setup at least, maybe only when transcoding for Jellyfin.

    Zero. It seems like software is increasingly expecting to be deployed in a container though, so that probably won’t last forever.

      While I understand the frustration of feeling like you’re being forced to adopt a particular process rather than being allowed to control your setup the way you see fit, the rapid proliferation of containers happened because they really do offer astonishing advantages over traditional methods of software development.
