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?

    Personally I have seen the opposite from many services. Take Jitsi Meet for example. Without containers, it’s like 4 different services, with logs and configurations all over the system. It is a pain to get running, as none of the services work without everything else being up. In containers, Jitsi Meet is managed in one place, and one place only. (When using docker compose,) all logs are available with docker compose logs, and all config is contained in one directory.

    It is more a case-by-case thing whether an application is easier to set up and maintain with or without docker.

      For logs dozzle is also fantastic, and you can do “agents” if you have multiple docker nodes and connect them togetherb
