my home server pi is struggling so hard I can't even ssh in… the only way I know it's still doing sth is occasionally the tiny fan (that I put in there as a joke) spins up

I should've gotten a version with more RAM…

the alternative would be to have less dockers running on it but let's be realistic

it actually managed to recover, I'm amazed

@noiob you could still set sshd to have a high I/O priority value so it gets first dibs on handling things

if it's a systemd service, you can use the IOSchedulingPriority setting or the Nice setting

@clarfonthey that sounds like it'd make my life a lot easier, thank you!
