Optimizing Orange Pi 5 performance when running multiple Docker containers on...

davidjohn68

Hi everyone,



I just bought an Orange Pi 5 and am trying to run multiple Docker containers on Armbian for IoT projects and home servers. PolyTrack goals are:



Reduce CPU load and RAM usage when running multiple containers simultaneously.



Optimise container startup time and internal network performance.



Ensure long-term stability when running continuously 24/7.



Currently, I am having problems:



Some containers lag or restart when running at the same time.



The initial load time is quite long, especially when there are containers using databases.



I don't know how to configure cgroup or swap to optimise on Orange Pi 5.



I want to ask:



Has anyone deployed multi-container Docker on Orange Pi? Do you have any tips?



Are there any best practices to optimise RAM/CPU and network when running multiple containers?



Is there any special Armbian configuration that helps long-term stability?



I hope to receive experience sharing, example configuration or workflow from the community. Thanks everyone in advance!
