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.

    RAM is definitely the limiting factor. The one server with a 5600X and 64GiB ram handled it pretty well as long as I wasn’t doing cpu transcoding, though.

    I’ve since added two N100 boxes with 16GiB and two first gen Epyc 32 cores with 64GiB ram. All pretty cost effective and quiet.
