Hi y’all. I’ve got an Intel Nuc 10 here. I want to run a few apps on it, like BitWarden, PiHole, NextCloud, Wireguard, and maybe more, just for my own use, inside my home.

Is there a way to guage whether the hardware is up to the task in advance? Like, if love to be able to plan this by saying, “this container will use x MB of ram and 5% of the cpu” and so on?

I want to run everything on this one PC since that’s all I have right now.

EDITED TO ADD: T****hank you all! Great info. :thumbsup

    If you’ve already bought the device there’s no much you can other than try the apps out and monitor them with docker stats and see if it gets out of hand. It would be nice if it were documented, but it’s hard because it’s a moving target and some apps have bugs from time to time (including memory leaks) and also can behave differently on different devices (particularly containers that depend on the GPU).

    Anyway, containers are good for this since you can easily create them, stop then, remove them etc without leaving a mess so if something ends up being too heavy, it’s no big deal.
