    like Docker being much higher than bare metal installations.

    I wish I could avoid docker, but many projects don’t even come with bare metal installations anymore :(

    However, I’m surprised Caddy wasn’t higher.

    Same, I use and love it, but even Traefik is higher.

      I can understand avoiding Docker, Inc software, but not an aversion to containers. Why do you prefer baremetal over containerization?

        Everything is too abstract and annoying. I do like containers, LXCs under Proxmox are amazing, they feel like VMs and installing software works just like installing on metal.

        With Docker, simple things like looking at logs, using a shared DB, backups, are all more involved, everything is different from normal.

        Better dependency control. I strongly prefer software that only depends on the stuff I can get from the package manager. This lowers the chance of supply chain attacks. Doesn’t prevent them, but I expect repo maintiners to do a better job looking at packages, than a developer who just puts another pip/gem/npm install in a dockerfile.

        Also if something is only available in a container, it sort of screams “this code is such a mess, we don’t even know a simple way to run it” to me.

      If I may ask; why?
