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.

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