Docker on VM vs bare install on VM (lemmy.world)

Currently I'm running some services though Docker on a Proxmox VM. Before I had Proxmox, I thought containers were a very clean way of organizing my system. I'm currently wondering if I can just install the services I always use on the VM directly. What are the pros and cons of that?

If you're not using some sort of automatic updates, you're not too seriously trying to make your life as trivial as possible. 😂 Just use fixed major version tags where possible in order to avoid surprise breakage.
