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.
13 running on my little Synology.
Actually more than I expected, I would have guesses closer to 8
35 stacks 135 images 71 containers
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.
25, with your “docker ps” command, on my aging Nuc10 PC. Only using 5GB of its 16GB of RAM.
What, me worry?
51 containers on my Unraid server, but only 39 running right now
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
11 running on my little N150 box. Barely ever breaks a sweat.
9 containers of which 1 is container manager with 8 containers inside (multi-containers counted as 1). And 9 that are installed off the NAS app store. 18 total.
@slazer2au Application containers: 30-40
System containers (including kube, Istio, CNI, etc): ~20Shifting from Istio sidecar mode to Istio ambient mode made a big difference.
- There are usually one or two of those that are just experimental and might get trashed.
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?
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.
I always saw them pitched by Fedora as the blessed way to run CLI applications on an immutable host.
58, my cpu is usually around 10-20% usage. I really don’t have any trouble managing/maintaining these. Things break almost weekly but I understand how to fix them every time, it only takes a few minutes
I don’t have access to my server right now, but it’s around 20 containers on my little N100 box.
$ docker ps | wc -l 14Just running 13 myself.
About 50 on a k8s cluster, then 12 more on a proxmox vm running debian and about 20 ish on some Hetzner auction servers.
About 80 in total, but lots more at work:)
