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.

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.

Correct on both counts, although it is possible to set limits that will prevent a single container using all your system’s resources.
