There is a post about getting overwhelmed by 15 containers and people not wanting to turn the post into a container measuring contest.

But now I am curious, what are your counts? I would guess those of you running k*s would win out by pod scaling

docker ps | wc -l

For those wanting a quick count.

    1. Because I’m old, crusty, and prefer software deployments in a similar manner.

    I know using work as an example is cheating, but around 1400-1500 to 5000-6000 depending on load throughout the day.

    At home it’s 12.

      I was watching a video yesterday where an org was churning 30K containers a day because they didn’t profile their application correctly and scaled their containers based on a misunderstanding how Linux deals with CPU scheduling.

        Yeah that shit is more common than people think.

        A big part of the business of cloud providers is that most orgs have no idea how to do shit. Their enterprise consultants are also wildly variable in competence.

        There was also a large amount of useless bullshit that I needed to cut down since being hired at my current spot, but the amount of containers is actually warranted. We do have that traffic, which is both happy and sad, since while business is booming, I have to deal with this.

    I am like Oprah yelling “you get a container, you get a container, Containers!!!” At my executables.

    I create aliases using toolbox so I can run most utils easily and securely.

        Podman toolboxes, which layer a do gained over your user file system, allowing you to make toolbox specific changes to the system that only affect that toolbox.

        I think it’s oringinally meant for development of desktop environments and OS features, but you can put most command line apps in them without much feauture breakage.

            That’s why I use them, but they are missing the in ramp to getting this working nicely for regular users.

            E.g. how do I install neovim with toolbox and get Wayland clipboard working, without doing a bunch of manual work? It’s easy to add to my ostree, but that’s not really the way it should be.

            I ended up making a bunch of scripts to manage this, but now I feel like I’m one step away from just using nixos.

    44 containers and my average load over 15 min is still 0,41 on an old Intel nuc.

        I’m using docker. Tried to set up Jellyfin in one but I couldn’t for the life of me figure out how to get it to work, even following the official documentation. Ended up just running the jellyfin package from my distros repo, which worked fine for me. Also tried running a tor snowflake, which worked, but there was some issue with the NAS being restricted and I couldn’t figure out how to fix that. I kinda gave up at that point and saved the whole container thing to figure out another day. I only switched to Linux and started self-hosting last year, so I’m still pretty new to all of this.

          If you do decide to look in to containers again and get stuck please make a post. We are glad to help out. A tip I can give you when asking for help. Tell the system you are using and how. Docker with compose files or portainer or something else etc. If using compose also add the yaml file you are using.

            I will definitely try again at some point in the next year, so I will keep that in mind! I appreciate the kind words. A lot of what you said is over my head at the moment though, so I’ve got my work cut out for me. 😅

              Docker Compose is really the easiest way to self-host.

              Copy a file, usually provided by the developers of the app you want to run, change some values if instructed by the # comments, run docker compose up and it “just works”.

              And I say that as someone who has done everything from distro-provided packages to compiling from source, Nix, podman systemd, and currently running a full-blown multi-node distributed storage Kubernetes cluster at home.

              Just use docker compose.

            Yo, I finally got it figured out. 😂 Set up Navidrome last night, and just finished setting up Jellyfin. Appreciate the encouragement. ✌

          I’m pretty sure I was at the same point years ago. The good thing is, next time you look into containers it’ll likely be really easy and you’ll wonder where you got stuck a year or two ago.

          At least that’s what has happened to me more times than I can remember.

            You were totally right. Got Navidrome set up last night, and just finished setting up Jellyfin. There were a few places I was scratching my head (the official documentation for both those isn’t great if you don’t already know how docker works) but I worked through it and now they’re both up and running great! Appreciate the kind words!

    40 containers behind traefik, but I did just add a new sablier middleware to stop when iddle and start when first requested. Electricity is not cheap for me. But i got lucky to add 64GB RAM in my NAS and 128GB Ram in Desktop last march before prices went crazy

      Would you mind expounding on this? Electricity is fairly affordable in my locale, however I’ve been on a mission to cut out consumption when it’s not needed. Have you noticed an ROI?

        yes as most service sleep, and time to spin them up is fast. Moreover some services continuously poll folders and avoid disks to sleep. Letting disks sleep the whole night is a good idea if not in use, this won’t shorten their lifespan.

        In here it is .30 pro Kwh

          yes and no…

          • Idle process are not cheap: some processes avoid all disks to sleep. .
          • In Europe electricity is not cheap, a bit more than .30 euro/kwh

          What I’ve been doing is running a cron at a certain time in the evening, shutting down the server, and am working on a WOL sequence from my pfsense box fired by a cron, to crank it back up. Since it sits idle for 12 hours out of the 24, I just didn’t see a need to keep it sucking up electricity.

          Of course, I’m not running any midnight, mass downloads of Linux iso’s, and I have no other users save myself. If I had users, I’d pass the hat.

    I’m running 3 or 4 I think… I’m more into dedicated VMs for some reason, so my important things are running in VMs in a proxmox cluster.

    9 containers of which 1 is container manager with 8 containers inside (multi-containers counted as 1). And 9 that are installed off the NAS app store. 18 total.

    I have 43 running, and this was a great reminder to do some cleanup. I can probably reduce my count by 5-10.
