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.

    I’ll add here that the “docker top” command allows you to easily see what kind of resources your containers are using.

    If you prefer a UI, Dozzle runs as a container, is super lightweight, requires basically no setup, and makes it very easy to see your docker resource usage.
