Not everything needs to be a container, I've got separate machines doing separate things, sometimes going native is easier to maintain...

I would even be so bold to claim that it is possible to run multiple services on a single computer without containers. My 10 year old PC with 15W CPU doesn’t break a sweat running *-arr stack, home automation, media center etc. I can install packages, compile apps and make systemd services out of them and I can’t see a reason to introduce unnecessary complexity into this.

The only services I have native are pihole and Home Assistant. What are you running that is easier to maintain natively?
