Still container-dependent?

I'm running it bare metal on my NAS.

No problems, plus I don't have to do extra container stuff.

"not running in a container" is not "running on bare metal". It's just running outside a container.

[–] Cyber@feddit.uk 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I guess that's true.

I'm running it outside of a container and outside a VM... as there's no abstraction layer on top of the underlying OS. Which I guess is inside the bare metal.

So, Yep.

"Bare metal" has traditionally meant without any os either. Your code executes directly on hardware and has direct control over everything. Like a micro controller.

Code in a container executes on the hardware in exactly my the same way as code not running in a container - with the os as an intermediary.
