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 for sure - containers are fantastic. Even if you're just using them as glorified chroot jails they provide a ton of benefit.
