ampersandrew@lemmy.world 19 hours ago I plan on putting just about everything I can in Docker containers, but I don’t think what I’m doing requires VMs, unless you spotted something that’s eluding me.

dont discount the utility of running containers in an abstracted Hardware Virtual Machine (HVM) away from your physical hardware. it expands your testing surfaces and sandboxes immeasurably.
Why do I need that? From my perspective, it seems like it would be more useful if I had far more services that I intended to run than what I’m actually planning for.

It depends on your goal. If it’s to learn (to say get a different job) you want/need as much flexibility as you can get. If it’s just to have a media server then you probably want to optimize in favor of that.
Yeah, I’ve only got a handful of services I want to run. It’s possible that the bug bites me and I want to go deeper into this stuff, but for the here and now, I’m only eyeing 8-10 things I want to host, and they ought to work across a mini PC and a NAS.
