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

I just slowly add more services and watch my RAM and CPU.

For example, my setup is an older laptop for processing and I have a NAS for storage. The laptop has a 5th gen i5 with 8GB of RAM with a Linux OS. It's currently running 19 containers.

Just monitor it and play around. You'll get a feel of what your equipment can handle.
