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?

TrueNAS is on bare metal has I have a dedicated NAS machine that’s not doing everything else and also is not recommended to virtualize. Not sure if that counts.

Same for the firewall (opnsense) since it is it’s own machine.

Have you tried running containers on Truenas?

No because I run my containers elsewhere, not on the NAS
