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.

    Yeah, my own experience of switching to containers was certainly frustrating at first because I was so used to doing things the old way, but once it clicked I couldn’t believe how much easier it made things. I used to block out several days for the trial and error it would take getting some new service to work properly. Now I’ll have stuff up and running in 5 minutes. It’s insane.
