A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
No spam posting.
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
No trolling.

31 Containers in all. I have been up as high as ~60 and have paired it back removing the things I wasn't using.
I also tend to remove anything that uses appreciable CPU at idle and I rarely run applications that require further containers in a stack just to boot, my needs aren't that heavy.
My kubernetes cluster is sitting happily at 240, and technically those are pods some of which have up to 3 or 4 containers, so who knows the full number.
Right now I'm at 33 with 3 stopped I haven't used in a while. Also got 3 VMs running. A handful are duplicates eg redis/postgresql/photon/caddy
About 50 on a k8s cluster, then 12 more on a proxmox vm running debian and about 20 ish on some Hetzner auction servers.
About 80 in total, but lots more at work:)
37 between ProxMox and CasaOS.

@slazer2au Application containers: 30-40
System containers (including kube, Istio, CNI, etc): ~20
Shifting from Istio sidecar mode to Istio ambient mode made a big difference.
Server 1: 5 containers Server 2: 4 containers Server 3: 4 containers Server 4: 61 containers
Basically if a container is a resource hog, it gets moved somewhere with more resources or specialized hardware.
That's a wee bit imbalanced. Is server 4 your big boi?
It's the oldest, but not the most powerful. Not everything I host sees a lot of activity. But things like Plex/Jellyfin/Immich found their own hardware with better GPU support, and serious A/V or disk intense processes have a full spec PC available. There is also a remote backup system in place so a couple containers are duplicates.
41 containers running on Rocky Linux over here
Running 50 on one machine, four on my fileserver and another on a hacked up hp eliteone (no screen) which runs my 3d printer. Believe my immich container is a nspawn under nixos too.
Some are a wip but the majority are in use. Mostly internal services with a couple internet facing, I've got a good backlog of work to do on some with some refactoring my nixos configs for many too 😅.
From my Erying ES system:
Assuming Cloudflare Tunnels/Zero Trust, how does that run in a container. I was vacillating between installing traditionally, or Docker and decided on the former. So I've always been curious as to how it performed.
