▲ 153 ▼ Those who are hosting on bare metal: What is stopping you from using Containers or VM's? What are you self hosting? (lemmy.world) submitted 1 year ago by kiol@lemmy.world to c/selfhosted@lemmy.world 171 comments fedilink hide all child comments 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?

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! permalink fedilink source parent
