Interesting question. Before anything else, we need some basic services like dns, mail, git, etc. How do you suggest deploying these in a on-prem/selfhosted environment? I assume not on Kubernetes or the like as that could cause chick-and-egg issues? Each service should be high-available also. For dns & smtp quite possible, and gitlab seems to support high availability too https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/administration/reference_architectures/ https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/administration/reference_architec... Have you even seen a complete container-based infrastructure on top of bare-metal without any VM?
