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.
All of you bragging about 100+ containers, please may in inquire as to what the fuck that’s about? What are you doing with all of those?
Not bragging. It is what it is. I run a plethora of things and that’s just on the production server. I probably have an additional 10 on the test server.
Things and stuff. There is the web front end, API to the back end, the database, the redis cache, mqtt message queues.
And that is just for one of my web crawlers.
/S
In my case, most things that I didn’t explicitly make public are running on Tailscale using their own Tailscale containers.
Doing it this way each one gets their own address and I don’t have to worry about port numbers. I can just type http://cars/ (Yes, I know. Not secure. Not worried about it) and get to my LubeLogger instance. But it also means I have 20ish copies of just the Tailscale container running.
On top of that, many services, like Nextcloud, are broken up into multiple containers. I think Nextcloud-aio alone has something like 5 or 6 containers it spins up, in addition to the master container. Tends to inflate the container numbers.
