I just spent a good chunk of today migrating some services onto new docker containers in Proxmox LXCs.

As I was updating my network diagram, I was struck by just how many services, hosts, and LXCs I'm running, so counted everything up.

  • 116 docker containers
    • Running on 25 docker hosts
    • 50 are the same on each docker host - Watchtower and Portainer agent
  • 38 Proxmox LXCs (19 are docker hosts)
  • 8 physical servers
  • 7 VLANs
  • 5 SSIDs
  • 2 NASes

So, it got me wondering about the size of other people's homelabs. What are your stats?

How do people get to so many Docker containers before moving to Kubernetes? I only have 76 containers across 68 pods and that's far too much for me to manage in Docker.

Honestly, anything not mission critical (network/internet and home automation, mainly) gets auto-updated by Watchtower. I have Watchtower set to pull latest images of everything on a weekly basis, and specific containers that are set to monitor only. Every Saturday morning, I check the Slack channel for notifications of containers that need controlled updating.
