Any love for Kubernetes here?
(lemmy.world)
Many of the posts I read here are about Docker. Is anybody using Kubernetes to manage their self hosted stuff? For those who've tried it and went back to Docker, why?
I'm doing my 3rd rebuild of a K8s cluster after learning things that I've done wrong and wanted to start fresh, but when enhancing my Docker setup and deciding between K8s and Docker Swarm, I decided on K8s for the learning opportunities and how it could help me at work.
What's your story?
I manage like 200 servers in Google cloud k8s but I don't think I'd do that for home use. The core purpose is to manage multiple servers and assign processes between them, auto scaling, cluster internal network - running docker containers for single instance apps for personal use doesn't require this kind of complexity
My NAS software has a docker thing just built into it. I can upload or specify a package and it just runs it on the local hardware. If you have a Linux shell, I guess all you really have to do is run
dockerdto start the daemon, make sure your network config allows connections, and upload your docker containers to it for runningMy thinking is the same, I see lots of k8s mentions on here and from coworkers at home and all I use is docker and VMs because I don't want all that complexity I have to deal with at work.
