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 am insane and use bare bone LXC.
Stupid ramblings you can probably ignore:
spoiler
Usually though it's because I run most stuff bare metal anyway so LXC is for temporary or random cases where I need a weird dependency or I want to run a niche service.
Only use docker for when I actually want faster setup like docker-osx which does all the vm stuff for running a virtual Mac for you.
I don't really mind docker, but for homelab I just find myself rewriting dockerfile anytime I want to change something which I don't really need to do if I'm not publishing it or even reusing it.
Kubernates is really more effective for actual load services, which you never need in homelab lol. It's great to use to learn k8s cluster, but the resources get eaten fast.
