You can see the node placement logic at work here. Manager and demo already existed on pve1, so pve2 got filled before pve1 started to be used again.
Copilot Summary
This pull request improves the logic for selecting a node when creating a new container, aiming to better balance the load across available nodes. Instead of picking any available node, the system now chooses the node with the fewest existing containers.
Load balancing improvements:
containers.jsto join with theContainermodel, group by node, and order by the number of containers, ensuring the least-loaded node is chosen for new containers.
