Comment on I dockerized my Nextcloud
Docker is bare metal
Well, since we want to be technical … Docker is not bare metal. Linux apps are not bare metal. Arduino is bare metal.
No. The phrase means that you’re not running in a virtual machine.
That’s only the meaning you’re used to, and that’s my point. It depends on the context. I can assure you that, in the context of microcontrollers, for example, “bare metal” means running without an OS.
Either way its pretty stupid to use it in reference to containers.
