36, with plans for more
None, if it's not in a Debian repo I don't deploy it on my stable server.
It's not really about docker itself, I just don't think software has married enough if it's not packaged properly
There is a post about getting overwhelmed by 15
I made the comment 'Just 15' in jest. It doesn't matter to me. Run 1, run 100. The comment was just poking the bear as it were. No harm nor foul intended. Sorry if it was received differently.
64 containers in total, 60 running - the remaining 4 are Watchtowers that I run manually whenever I feel like it (and have time to fix things if something should break).
two, one for running discord backup viewer webui and the other for archiveteam warrior containers
I'm running 3 or 4 I think... I'm more into dedicated VMs for some reason, so my important things are running in VMs in a proxmox cluster.
13 with podman on openSUSE MicroOS.
i used to have a few more but wasn't using them enough so i cut them.
Uh.. Probably somewhere around 150?
I don't use them. I'm using OpenBSD on my server which don't support this feature.

12 LXCs and 2 VMs on proxmox. Big fan of managing all the backups with the web ui (It's very easy to back to my NAS) and the helper scripts are pretty nice too. Nothing on docker right now, although i used to have a couple in a portainer LXC.
61 containers in 26 docker files.
49, I could imagine running all of those bare would be hard with dependencies
13 running on my little Synology.
Actually more than I expected, I would have guesses closer to 8
89 - 79 on my main server and 10 on my sandbox.
25, with your "docker ps" command, on my aging Nuc10 PC. Only using 5GB of its 16GB of RAM.
What, me worry?
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

3 that I'm actually using, on my "Home Server" (Raspberry Pi).
One day I will be migrating the work stuff on VPS over to Docker, and then we'll see who has the most!
I have about 15 trueNAS apps only 2 of them are custom (endurain and molly socket). They are containers but very low effort handled mostly by the system. I also have 3 LXC. And 2 VMs (home assistant and openWRT). I spend only few minutes a week on maintenance. And then I tinker for several hours a week, testing new apps or enhancing current ones configs.
None. I run my services they way they are meant to be run. There is no point in containers for a small setup. Its kinda lazy and you miss out on how to install them.

$ docker ps | wc -l

Just running 13 myself.
13 in a docker LXC, most of my stuff runs on 13 other dedicated LXCs
Server01: 64 Server02: 19 Plus a bunch of sidecar containers solely for configs that aren't running.
Between 100 and 150.
35 stacks 135 images 71 containers
74 across 2 proxmox nodes in a few lxcs
My containers are running containers... At least 24.
