This is promising, thanks!

That was my impression as well. But since I’m on a low-RAM VPS any overhead in RAM adds up, and I wanted to know how process deduplication works before I get into it.

Yes this is what I want to do. My question is how docker manages shared processes between these apps (for example, if app1 uses mysql and app2 also uses mysql).

Does it take up the RAM of 2 mysql processes? It seems wasteful if that’s the case, especially since I’m on a low-RAM VPS. I’m getting conflicting answers, so it looks like I’ll have to try it out and see.

Aren’t containers the product of compose files? i.e. the compose files spin up containers. I understand the architecture, I’m just not sure about how docker streamlines separate containers running the same process (eg, mysql).

I’m getting some answers saying that it deduplicates, and others saying that it doesn’t. It looks more likely that it’s the former though.

Thank you. Yes makes sense. I guess it’s fairly obvious in hindsight.

Yes, that’s exactly what I’m doing now, I was only unsure about how to map the remaining services - in the same docker containers, or in new ones.
