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?

    Could you list some of your “stuffs” that you run on your k3s? I’m curious.

      Oh it is not that much, I run adguard DNS with adblocking, searxng as my search engine, vaultwarden as my password manager. All combined with Argo CD as GitOps engine, nginx ingress with cert-manager for lets encrypt certificates, longhorn as storage layer and metallb as loadbalancer solution. I am planning to completely replace my current setup (which is an old sandy bridge powered HP microserver) with a turing pi 2 clusterboard with 4 RPi4 CMs as soon as they get cheaper.

        Wow you’re self-hosting a password manager! Don’t you feel scared if something went wrong?

        I’m also running Adguard as my DNS-level adblocker on my Pi 3. Feels way more content than Pihole.

          Well I dont expose any of my stuff to the public internet, so the attack surface is quiet the same like using keepass for example. If I need to access something at home I simply connect via wireguard which is builtin in my router.
