How can I prioritize a container with regards to internet speed?
Let’s assume I’ve got two podman (docker) containers and both upload stuff.
Reasoning
My upload bandwidth is limited. One container needs to reliably upload stuff and the other doesn’t. Thus, I want to prioritize one container over the over in order to deliver content in this container reliably.
Example
Syncthing can sync over a long time period but jellyfin can’t.
I don’t know. This docker allows you to use the standard Linux command tc on a docker container. Perhaps check to see if tc allows you to prioritize traffic like you. This isbgenerall called “quality of service”. That search term may help as well.
You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: !selfhosted@lemmy.world

Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it’s not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
Don’t duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

This is probably the way to go
thx. If I read it correctly, you can set a bandwidth limit to a container, e.g. busybox. Can you prioritize as well?
