This. I used to host directly on my server and discovered docker a few years ago.

It was a relief. Coupled with watchtower the updates are automatic except for the two services I really rely upon.

I used to be on Ubuntu for ages and moved to Arch a few days ago - my server only runs docker today.

I still want to keep access to a shell do it is Arch and not Rancher or something (I did not research much the bare metal hypervisors).

My maintenance is minutes every month if everything works fine, up to a max of an hour when Home Assistant broke things once two years ago.

DRP from bare metal is an hour.

Adding a service is a few minutes.
