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?

I get that, but the services listed by the other comment run just fine in docker with less hassle by throwing in some bind mounts.
The 4 VMs dedicated dockge instances is exactly the kind of thing I had in mind for people that want to avoid something that sounds more like work than a hobby when starting out. Building the knowledge takes time and each product introduced reduces the likelihood of it being completed anytime soon.
Fair point. I’m 12 years into my own self-hosting journey, I guess it’s easy to forget that haha.
When I started dicking around with Docker, I initially used Portainer for a while, but that just had way too much going on and the licensing was confusing. Dockge is way easier to deal with, and stupid simple to set up.
