Ditched the containerized setup and went bare metal with my RL-Swarm node. Difference? Massive.
M2 Air handled the whole thing in under 10 minutes—clean install to fully operational. Community guide for macOS made it dead simple. RAM footprint dropped noticeably. Log responses feel instant now. Restarts take seconds, not the usual Docker dance. Pulling latest commits? Quick and painless.
Best part: fans barely spin up anymore. No container overhead eating resources in the background.
Native deployment wins when you want efficiency without the bloat.

Bare metal is really awesome, the virtualization overhead with Docker is indeed outrageous.

ngl, empirically speaking everyone's gonna realize docker was just security theater for infrastructure that didn't need it... but sure, let me explain why bare metal's inevitably the move here

Bare metal deployment is truly awesome; the whole Docker setup should have been dropped long ago.

Bare metal deployment is indeed satisfying, but it's not like Docker is useless. Can the benefits of environment isolation be traded for a few fan speeds?
