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 thought about running something like proxmox, but everything is too pooled, too specialized, or proxmox doesn't provide the packages I want to use.

Just went with arch as the host OS and firejail or lxc any processes i want contained.

    I've never installed a package on proxmox.
    I've BARELY interacted with CLI on proxmox (I have a script that creates a nice Debian VM template, and occasionally having to really kill a VM).

    What would you install on proxmox?!
