Those who are hosting on bare metal: What is stopping you from using Containers or VM's? What are you self hosting? (lemmy.world)

Curious to know what the experiences are for those who are sticking to bare metal. Would like to better understand what keeps such admins from migrating to containers, Docker, Podman, Virtual Machines, etc. What keeps you on bare metal in 2025?

I use Raspberry Pi 4 with 16GB SD-card. I simply don't have enough memory and CPU power for 15 separate database containers for every service which I want to use.

    So, are you running 15 services on the Pi 4 without containers?

    The list of what I run on my RPi:

    Some of them run in containers, some of them run on the bare metal.
