K6 InfluxDB + Grafana Docker : How many virtual users can I run from one container?

I am using K6 for Load Testing.

I have cloned the K6, Grafana, InfluxDB docker-compose set up from here:

https://github.com/loadimpact/k6

Is there a maximum limit to the number of virtual users you can ramp up to from one Docker Container?

i.e. will I need to run lots of containers to reach the required number of virtual users or can it all be done from just one container?

It all depends on the size of the test file , the resources (memory/CPU) of the machine and the resource allocated from the machine to the docker.

From what i understand, with enough system resources, one k6 container started using the below command is enough.

docker-compose run k6 run
