Folks,
I have an Intel N5095 2 GHz box, with 16 GB RAM and 500 GB sitting below my desk. It’s a teeny tiny box with no fan or anything.
I’m currently running Debian server on it with Portainer on top to run some *arr services. I’m thinking of running some more. But the device seems to groan under the weight of the services already running.
Was just watching a video about proxmox, and it seems to be a better solution if I don’t need to run Portainer on top of an OS. Maybe it’ll be lower resource usage?
So, thoughts? Should I change it up from Debian to proxmox? Or should I stick to what is already running? I am running Debian because I read somewhere that it’s the lowest resource hog of all Linux server options.
Alternatively, should I stick to Debian and portainer but use it with something like podman as it might use less resources than docker-ce?
@damnthefilibuster Is it a subjective impression or do you have information about used ressources on your device?
Are you running something like Beszel for getting information about the used ressources, especial from running containers?

I’m running my services with rootless podman, but I can’t compare it with docker. It’s more related to security reason.
Thanks for that link! I’ll run that service, collect some data and get back to you. I think it hits CPU limits though…
@damnthefilibuster There was just a post in my timeline about some applications for Docker Container Monitoring.
Maybe there are other alternatives, which fits better your needs:
