RK3588 as a Docker Host: How Many Services Fit in 8 GB
The most common self-hosting question: how much fits on a small box? We measured it on an RK3588 mini PC.
The 15-container bill
- Services: Nginx, Jellyfin, AdGuard, Vaultwarden, Uptime-Kuma and more — 15 total;
- RAM: 4.2 GB of 8 GB used, plenty of headroom;
- CPU: under 10% idle, peaking at 45% during a Jellyfin transcode;
- Disk: OS + containers + data in 38 GB — eMMC handles it easily.
Advice
Logs and databases quietly eat disk; mount an NVMe and automate backups. For individuals and small studios, one RK3588 really can replace a rack.
