How many docker containers can run per host?

[blade (Boyan Tabakov)]

Hi @isabeljason,

It depends mostly on how much resources the host has and how much resources the app(s) running inside the containers need.

If you are referring to running Sharetribe in Docker (or any other web app), there’s little value in running more than one web container per host, since a single host is still single point of failure. For redundancy, you should have more than one host anyway. However, you can definitely colocate containers serving web traffic with worker container(s).

Thanks Blade! Your feedback really make sense.
