Your phrasing of the question implies a poor understanding. There's nothing preventing you from running containers on bare metal.

My colo setup is a mix of classical and podman systemd units running on bare metal, combined with a little nginx for the domain and tls termination.

I think you're actually asking why folks would use bare metal instead of cloud and here's the truth. You're paying for that resiliency even if you don't need it which means that renting the cloud stuff is incredibly expensive. Most people can probably get away with a$10 vps, but the aws meme of needing 5 app servers, an rds and a load balancer to run WordPress has rotted people. My server that I paid a few grand for on eBay would cost me about as much monthly to rent from aws. I've stuffed it full of flash with enough redundancy to lose half of it before going into colo for replacement. I paid a bit upfront but I am set on capacity for another half decade plus, my costs are otherwise fixed.

The only Maui you should be using is the original https://mauikit.org/

The way I've been using it for a few years is that most of my machines can see each other and I have a shared folder and versioning setup. As I add things they move between the different machines and once an additional machine has it it is available to the others until everything is in sync

You can definitely do chain topologies which are useful for certain things with a single source of truth

Sidenote: I almost ended up working for the company almost a decade ago now lmao. The board was full of other characters we all know and love here. The €€€ offer was high for EU, but I still laugh at the growth potential of my 10000 dollars yearly equivalent in their tokens. The website was unique in that it scrolled... up. I think it's still on archive dot org

The Kde store UI is a bit lacking the screenshot browser has arrows all the way at the edges.

I uploaded three screens two of the configuration and one of the widget on a panel, expanded with all the advanced controls.

Edit: Ive reuploaded the images with the expanded widget first

During my expirementation with some of these self hosted llms, I was attempting some jailbreaks and other things and thought would this be any good at ERP?

Only if youve never been with another human being.

The fork Ansel, is supposed to improve on the UI situation.

Pretty solid gameplay so far, threw a tenner at them for the work

Ah good to know, shame it's been left by the wayside a bit. Was super useful in the early days
