I tried a VM and noticed it used more CPU. Below is CPU and memory usage from the “top” command on the machine with everything running and you can see they are very low. That’s a lot of software on one machine, but docker is more light weight then a VM. On the bare metal Ubuntu machine, I have an attached hard drive I use as a network NAS and also run a Shinobi NVR system. Besides Home Assistant, I have Node Red, zwavejsUI(formally zwavejs2matt), zigbee2mqtt, wireguard, and swag/nginx all running as their own docker containers.
I basically manage all the docker containers, including Home Assistant, through Portainer, which has a nice UI. You lose the Home Assistant addons this way, but many addons are available as full programs you can manage and install yourself through Docker.
I run the Home Assistant container install in docker over Ubuntu on a Dell Optiplex.
