Every way?

Well, apart from simplicity and security I suppose… and networking…

Oh, and storage…

But, before you think I’m arguing with you, I’m not… Containers have their place, VMs also, they are just for different uses.

In this case, I have a NAS, with Immich installed directly on it and I don’t have to mess with any abstraction layers… and it all plays nice with the other applications.

Maybe yours is different… but mine is better on bare metal.
