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.

    On my old Dell workstation I pulled out of the dumpster of a local business, which now has a second life as a Unraid NAS, I’m running 29 currently. Used to be running more, but I got rid of some after I was done using those services.

    Among other things, the server runs my entire Servarr stack, as well as the various media servers for video, music, ebooks and audiobooks, and my Gitea. There’s a bunch of other stuff as well, but those are the most important to me.
