Passive income by running Docker containers

Earning Passive Income Using Docker Containers

My favourite method of generating passive income is to set up systems that continue to generate money once they are established. Essentially, the concept revolves around selling your unused internet bandwidth to people who need it for tasks such as accessing regionally restricted content on platforms such as Netflix.

If you're already running Docker containers, adding a few more that consume minimal resources but passively contribute to your income isn't too demanding.

Below are a few programs that can help generate revenue that can potentially cover the cost of powering your computer or server, or even more. For each, I'll give the Docker Compose configuration I use, including resource limits to ensure they don't overload your machine (a practice recommended for all your containers).

Let's get started!

Honeygain

Seeking a dependable website for passive income? Consider this well-established platform with an intuitive dashboard. While the earning potential is moderate, they provide a $5 sign-up bonus using this link. I've received 16 successful payments from them, and they have a payout threshold, making them worth exploring.

    packetstream:
      image: packetstream/psclient:latest

They have developed an application that is compatible with Windows, Linux machines and Docker-based environments.

There is no official Docker image for this, but I made one that you can use for free.
