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.

    Right now I have 32 active stacks running and a good number of them create at least one other container like a database. So I’m running around 60+ separate containers. The machine has maybe an i5 6500 or so in it with 32g of ram. I use unraid as the nas platform but I do all the docker stuff manually. It’s plenty fast for what I need so far… :)

        I wish it was something that cool. I mean like when spinning up Immich. It makes separate containers for the server, redis, db,… etc.
