I have around 15-20 apps/containers that I am running which includes traefik, they are all under one docker server/compose. I am running these in Proxmox on an Intel NUC, I am finding that I keep increasing the resources on this Docker container and end up having to move other VM/LXC’s to another server. Would it be better, resource wise, to run each of these in smaller LXC containers? Should I just blow Proxmox away and run a Docker/Compose server? I was thinking Kubernetes but it just seems that is overkill. I do have a R630 but I am thinking about finding a smaller power consumption device to replace it as daily driver and then just use it when I need to.
