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.
As it was already said. Docker is not virtualization. The number of Containers you can run depends on the containers and what applications are packaged in them. I am pretty sure you can max out any host with a single container when it runs computational heavy software. And i am also pretty sure you can run on any given host thousands of containers when they are just serving a simple static website
Correct on both counts, although it is possible to set limits that will prevent a single container using all your system’s resources.
