Home usage example, probably not that relevant. Time span is 20 years. I used to host everything on one machine. It got complicated quickly. I then split everything between VMs. Still difficult to maintain. I finally switched to docker where 70% of the containers are from Docker Hub, maintained by enthusiasts or the devs of the product. I trust them blindly, knowing they will do a better job than I do. 30% of the services are mine. Tiny images, tiny specialized code easy to maintain because there are few dependencies. Again, this is a home setup with a tolerant family who can spend a night without lights when I am struggling to roll back "obvious improvements"
