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.

Well the containers are grouped into services. I would easily have 15 services running, some run a separate postgres or redis while others do an internal sqlite so hard to say (I'm not where I can look rn).

If we're counting containers then between Nextcloud and Home Assistant I'm probably over 20 already lol.
