[TriLUG] Specs for a good workstation

[Ron Kelley via TriLUG]

For what it's worth, we run 50 lamp stack containers on Ubuntu 16.04 using 
LXD with 4 CPUs and 8GB RAM. Each container stack runs nginx, php, and 
MySQL.   Typical CPU usage is probably 20% for the entire server; typical 
RAM usage is about 160MB per container.

We prefer LXD over docker due to persistent data stores and the ability to 
run a single container for the entire stack.

I guess my point is a regular PC with 16GB RAM should be plenty to run your 
docker stacks.


Hope this helps.
