    PI containers are great for home use where the usage is low to moderate. No battery to warp or destroy, small, lots of Linux potential. Really it’s just a small computer on your home network looking after stuff.

      Yeah, what’s this meme about? I use Docker on a pi 4 with 8gb of ram to run Home Assistant and Paperless-ngx, plus some simple out-of-container home network monitoring scripts. The little guy rarely uses all the cores.

    I’ve got a kubernetes cluster with 2 pis right now. Its apart of a bigger cluster but still. All containers are, are isolated preccesses so its barely different than launching any other process.

    Now if that container is like Plex or an ollama serve or something…

      All containers are, are isolated preccesses so its barely different than launching any other process.

      The two biggest differences are that containers use more disk space vs non-containers and that containers won’t use shared libraries. That means that instead of loading up 1 version of glibc for most of the OS, you end up with n containers glibcs loaded up.

      Practically speaking, this isn’t really a huge deal. A lot of those libraries fit in less than 1mb. A disaster if this was my childhood computer. A non-issue on modern systems with more than 512mb of ram.

    This looks like a rPi Zero.

    I wonder what quadlets would look like. U-hauls on a ferry?
