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'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?!

Firmware update utilities, host OS file system encryption packages, HBA management tools, temperature monitoring, and then a lot of the packages had bugs that were resolved with newer versions, but proxmox only provided old versions.
