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.

    I have gone up to about 300-400 or so. Currently running about 5 machines averaging about 100 each.

        Yeah most of them are just high-availability replicas, probably only about 100-200 actual services/microservices
