How many containers are you all running? (lemmy.world)

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.

40 containers behind traefik, but I did just add a new sablier middleware to stop when iddle and start when first requested. Electricity is not cheap for me. But i got lucky to add 64GB RAM in my NAS and 128GB Ram in Desktop last march before prices went crazy

Would you mind expounding on this? Electricity is fairly affordable in my locale, however I've been on a mission to cut out consumption when it's not needed. Have you noticed an ROI?

yes as most service sleep, and time to spin them up is fast. Moreover some services continuously poll folders and avoid disks to sleep. Letting disks sleep the whole night is a good idea if not in use, this won't shorten their lifespan.

In here it is .30 pro Kwh

I wouldn't expect it to matter much, idle processes are pretty cheap.

yes and no...

Idle process are not cheap: some processes avoid all disks to sleep. .
In Europe electricity is not cheap, a bit more than .30 euro/kwh

Here's what I've been doing: https://lemmy.world/post/42332816/21852448

I'll check out sablier. Every little bit helps. Even tho it's selfhosting, there's no need to consume more than necessary.

What I've been doing is running a cron at a certain time in the evening, shutting down the server, and am working on a WOL sequence from my pfsense box fired by a cron, to crank it back up. Since it sits idle for 12 hours out of the 24, I just didn't see a need to keep it sucking up electricity.

Of course, I'm not running any midnight, mass downloads of Linux iso's, and I have no other users save myself. If I had users, I'd pass the hat.
