I have currently got 23 on my n97 mini pc and 3 on my raspberry pi 4, making 26 in total.

I have no issues managing these. I use docker compose for everything and have about 10 compose.yml files for the 23 containers.

Acronyms, initialisms, abbreviations, contractions, and other phrases which expand to something larger, that I’ve seen in this thread:

About 50 on a k8s cluster, then 12 more on a proxmox vm running debian and about 20 ish on some Hetzner auction servers.

About 80 in total, but lots more at work:)

Running home assistant with a few addons on a mostly dormant raspberry pi. This totals to 19 lines.

140 running containers and 33 stopped (that I spin up sometimes for specific tasks or testing new things), so 173 total on Unraid. I have them gouped into:

• 118 Auto-updates (low chance of breaking updates or non-critical service that only I would notice if it breaks)
• 55 Manual-updates (either it’s family-facing e.g. Jellyfin, or it’s got a high chance of breaking updates, or it updates very infrequently so I want to know when that happens, or it’s something I want to keep particular note of or control over what time it updates e.g. Jellyfin when nobody’s in the middle of watching something)

I subscribe to all their github release pages via FreshRSS and have them grouped into the Auto/Manual categories. Auto takes care of itself and I skim those release notes just to keep aware of any surprises. Manual usually has 1-5 releases each day so I spend 5-20 minutes reading those release notes a bit more closely and updating them as a group, or holding off until I have more bandwidth for troubleshooting if it looks like an involved update.

Since I put anything that might cause me grief if it breaks in the manual group, I can also just not pay attention to the system for a few days and everything keeps humming along. I just end up with a slightly longer manual update list when I come back to it.

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.

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

26 tho this include multi container services like immich or paperless who have 4 each.

35 containers and everything is running stable and most of it is automatically updated. In case something breaks I have daily backups of everything.

9

58, my cpu is usually around 10-20% usage. I really don’t have any trouble managing/maintaining these. Things break almost weekly but I understand how to fix them every time, it only takes a few minutes

Server01: 64 Server02: 19 Plus a bunch of sidecar containers solely for configs that aren’t running.

0, it’s all organised nicely with nixos

89 - 79 on my main server and 10 on my sandbox.

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