Hey guys, I was happily running 44 docker containers for a while on Debian host. Today I tried to add a new service (uptime-kuma) using portainer stacks, but I got this error:

Error response from daemon: could not find an available, non-overlapping IPv4 address pool among the defaults to assign to the network

Quick google led me to this link where I found possible problem with max number of docker networks. I did docker network prune, it removed 5 networks that were not in use and viola, uptime-kuma is working now!

Am I reaching the limit? What to do if I need 10 more services on the same host? I bet I saw some people in this community running many more services

    Could simplify it by making a 28 block at most. That is 14 IPs per bridge which seems like way more than one would generally need anyhow.

    {
      "default-address-pools": [
        { "base":"172.16.0.0/12", "size":28 },
      ]
    }

      Had to do exactly that last week when I hit Docker’s rather low network limit.
