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 use Raspberry Pi 4 with 16GB SD-card. I simply don’t have enough memory and CPU power for 15 separate database containers for every service which I want to use.

      Databases on sd cards are a nightmare for sd card lifetimes. I would really recommend getting at least a USD SSD stick instead if you want to keep it compact.

      Your SD card will die suddenly someday in the near future otherwise.
