For me, it is often a „it depends, if …“. Take my current setup. I want to add Solr to a up-and-running dovecot system. In my VM I would have to add CPU and RAM, which I just can when rebooting the dovecot server. This is a (little) downtime, but is is a downtime. So adding a Solr VM is currently the better choice regarding the uptime. Thanks for your feedback and regards . Götz
