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?

Oh so the other 80% of your RAM can sit there and do nothing? My RAM is always around 80% or so as its caching stuff like it's supposed to.

    Unused RAM is wasted RAM

    Welp OP did ask how we set it up. And for a family instance its good enough. The ram was extra that came with the comp. I have other things to do than optimize my family home server. There's no latency at all already.

    It spikes when peertube videos are uploaded and transcoded + matrix sometimes. Have a good night!
