Not in my homelab but in prod, yes. I had a free 15yo box and two days to deploy my app there. Ubuntu Server was the first distro that came to my mind.
It was running for like two years without a problem until the company hired an infra guy who moved all the standalone servers(mine included) to VMs running on a proper rack mounted hypervisor server(or maybe a cluster of servers? IDK) with some backup strategy.
But the guy just took an image of the drive and put it in the VM so it’s still running Ubuntu Server. And to this day there hasn’t been any problems with it.
Once they had a power outage but fortunately for me the docker containers had autostart enabled so it all came back up. That’s about it.
