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.

    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.
