Comment on Those who are hosting on bare metal: What is stopping you from using Containers or VM's? What are you self hosting?

Same here. In particular I like small cheap hardware to act as appliances, and have several raspberry pi

My example is home assistant. Deploying on its own hardware means an officially supported management layer, which makes my life easier. It is actually running containers but i don’t have to deal with that

If you’re talking about backups and updates for addons and core, that works on VMs as well.

  For my use case, I’m continually fiddling with my VM config. That’s my playground, not just the services hosted there. I want home assistant to always be available so it can’t be there.
  
  I suppose I could have a “production “ vm server that I keep stable, separately from my “dev” vm server but that would be more effort. Maybe it’s simply that I don’t have many services I want to treat as production, so the physical hardware is the cheapest and easiest option
