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.

    I run VMs and LDoms at work and VMs at home, a dwindling number of VMware VMs and a growing number of qemus to replace them.

    I don’t need the hassle.

      Is this a joke?

      Simple ephemeral containers are far easier to manage as they are primarily managed via a static config that is reproducible. If something goes wrong or you want to modify something you just redeploy.

          Don’t make fun of someone because they like doing things the old way.

          I don’t want to be associated with this comment.

      Get a load of this guy, thinking containers are more of a hassle than VMs!
