Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

What do you mean?
I think this is like sepi's response but less polite
I see. There is no disrespect intended, because it is a discussion thread starter. My question about this is: what would be the better phrasing for the subject matter of this post? Either way, discussion seems to be going great. Cheers all, because it isn't a discussion of what is better: it is a general curiosity for people running bare metal, because it seems to receive zero discussion. I am glad to see such people responding, positive or negative.
I think people are assuming you want to convert people to The Church of Docker, in their minds, if you know what I mean. I do not see it that way, but "what is stopping you from using virtualization" has such a tone as if everyone is supposed to virtualize, but something prevents them and they can't.
I think a better way to ask it would be "what are your reasons for sticking with bare metal?" or something like that.
sidenote: to me it seems some people here have quite bad experiences with docker. I mean it has parts I don't like either, but I never had so many problems with it and I'm hosting a dozen of web services locally. maybe their experience was from the early days?
