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 am at ~80. Most are idling.

For me, the metric to jeep an eye on is the time spent by the kernel between system and user. If the time spent by in system rises it is the sign that the kernel is just switching of context instead of executing programs.
