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?

Are you concerned about your self-hosted bare metal machine being a single point of failure? Or, are you concerned it will be difficult to reproduce?

Considering I have a full backup, all services are Arch packages and all important data is on its own drive, I’m not concerned about anything
