▲ 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?

There ain't nothing wrong with having a few simple spare laptops, each an isolated environment for a few simple home server tasks each. Don't get me wrong - I too advocate for docker, particularly on new builds, or as a relatively turnkey solution to get started for novice friends, but the best setup is the one that works, and they sound like they got theirs where they want it. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [+] BrianTheFirst@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 child) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] TeddE@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago Fair point.
