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.
Isn’t that harder?
Me too!
How it started : 0
Max : 0
Now : 0
Iso27002 and provenance validation goes brrrrr
I am like Oprah yelling “you get a container, you get a container, Containers!!!” At my executables.
I create aliases using toolbox so I can run most utils easily and securely.
Toolbox?
Edit: Oh cool! Thanks for sharing.
https://github.com/containers/toolbox
Podman toolboxes, which layer a do gained over your user file system, allowing you to make toolbox specific changes to the system that only affect that toolbox.
I think it’s oringinally meant for development of desktop environments and OS features, but you can put most command line apps in them without much feauture breakage.
44 containers and my average load over 15 min is still 0,41 on an old Intel nuc.
Zero. Either it’s just a service with no wrappers, or a full VM.
Why a full VM, that seems like a ton of overhead
For some convoluted networking things it’s easier for me to have a full “machine” as it were
I still haven’t figured out containers. 🙁
At my house around 10-15. For lemmy.ca and our other sites, 35ish maybe. At work… hundreds.
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!
11 running on my little N150 box. Barely ever breaks a sweat.

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?
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
36, with plans for more
I’m running 3 or 4 I think… I’m more into dedicated VMs for some reason, so my important things are running in VMs in a proxmox cluster.
I have 43 running, and this was a great reminder to do some cleanup. I can probably reduce my count by 5-10.
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.
