I live alone, and generally I do about ~400GB of data transfer on Comcast a month. I work from home, and spend a lot of time downloading Docker containers and other such things to do my work.

Last month apparently I hit a new high for me: 890GB. Lots of devices needing updates/games downloaded...

I am really surprised that with a 7 person household you don't go through your data even faster.

I even run a local caching server for all my Apple devices, which over the last 30 days has saved me about ~50GB from having to be served from origin, with about ~100GB being served to clients.

Although I tend to also be a heavy user of Apple's iTunes and particularly their movies service, so I have a feeling a lot of that cached data is me putting movies on in the background and them being streamed from the cache rather than from Apple directly.

Any option to host your docker stuff on a VPS or other system that isn't using your home internet connection?

I think he/she uses Docker as a development tool on his machine, with volumes and everything.

Yep, this isn't about hosting docker containers or the end result, but doing development work/tearing down/setting up test environments and things of that nature.

It is surprising how big docker containers get after a while.
