Not yet. All of the LXC containers run on 2 cores of the 4 and 2gb of RAM and 512MB swap where reserved. I can address more power if needed.
As none of my services run constant on full power the low power of the CPU is not a problem. I serve only my home with it.

I have been running a Synology NAS, 416 play with a Celeron n3060 (I think) dual core with 8GB ram.
It runs all my docker services (around 20) with no issues. Containers are more RAM bound than CPU. Uses about 40-45 ℅ of the RAM.
The only limit is when transcoding as suppose to Direct playing a movie. Then it really taxes the CPU. But I don’t really watch movies so its a non issue.
So a NAS doesn’t need a beefy CPU if used as a file server. Can be tricky if you run Plex on it though.
