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.

Running home assistant with a few addons on a mostly dormant raspberry pi. This totals to 19 lines.
44 containers and my average load over 15 min is still 0,41 on an old Intel nuc.
0, it’s all organised nicely with nixos
I have 1 podman container on NixOS because some obscure software has a packaging problem with ffmpeg and the NixOS maintainers removed it.
docker: command not foundBoooo, you need some chaos in your life. :D
That’s why I have one host called
theBarreland it’s just 100 Chaos Monkeys and nothing elseThis is the way.
Server 1: 5 containers Server 2: 4 containers Server 3: 4 containers Server 4: 61 containers
Basically if a container is a resource hog, it gets moved somewhere with more resources or specialized hardware.
That’s a wee bit imbalanced. Is server 4 your big boi?
It’s the oldest, but not the most powerful. Not everything I host sees a lot of activity. But things like Plex/Jellyfin/Immich found their own hardware with better GPU support, and serious A/V or disk intense processes have a full spec PC available. There is also a remote backup system in place so a couple containers are duplicates.
Between 100 and 150.
At my house around 10-15. For lemmy.ca and our other sites, 35ish maybe. At work… hundreds.
11 running on my little N150 box. Barely ever breaks a sweat.
@slazer2au Application containers: 30-40
System containers (including kube, Istio, CNI, etc): ~20Shifting from Istio sidecar mode to Istio ambient mode made a big difference.
Well the containers are grouped into services. I would easily have 15 services running, some run a separate postgres or redis while others do an internal sqlite so hard to say (I’m not where I can look rn).
If we’re counting containers then between Nextcloud and Home Assistant I’m probably over 20 already lol.
$ docker ps | wc -l 14Just running 13 myself.
I don’t have access to my server right now, but it’s around 20 containers on my little N100 box.
53
25, with your “docker ps” command, on my aging Nuc10 PC. Only using 5GB of its 16GB of RAM.
What, me worry?
- Because I’m old, crusty, and prefer software deployments in a similar manner.
Isn’t that harder?
It depends a lot on what you want to do and a little on what you’re used to. It’s some configuration overhead so it may not be worth the extra hassle if you’re only running a few services (and they don’t have dependency conflicts). IME once you pass a certain complexity level it becomes easier to run new services in containers, but if you’re not sure how they’d benefit your setup, you’re probably fine to not worry about it until it becomes a clear need.
I salute you and wish you the best in never having a dependency conflict.
I’ve been resolving with them since the late 90s, no worries.
I use Debian
My worst dependency conflict was a libcurlssl error when trying to build on a precompiled base docker image.
Agreed. Im tired after work. Debian/yunohost is good enough.
At work its hundreds of docker containers but all ci/cd takes care of that.
26 tho this include multi container services like immich or paperless who have 4 each.
