What's your approach to databases? (feddit.de)

I'm currently struggling with upgrading some Postgres DBs on my home-k3s and I'm seriously considering throwing it all away since it's such a hassle.

So, how do you handle DBs? K8s? Just a regular daemon?

I just run one mariadb container via docker-compose that all my other services use as their database.

version: "2"
services:
  mariadb:
    image: lscr.io/linuxserver/mariadb:latest
    container_name: mariadb
    environment:
      - TZ=####/####
      - PUID=###
      - PGID=###
      - MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD==############
    volumes:
      - /docker/mariadb:/config
    ports:
      - 3306:3306
    restart: unless-stopped

Off-topic but I don't really get the appeal in running Kubernetes (or similar technologies) in a homelab. Unless it's something you want to learn for work of course.

I'm running kubernetes simply because the other options are worse.

Proxmox takes to many resources.

Docker Compose caused countless issues for me when running multiple services (especially network related).

Bare metal is annoying, because you're forced to keep all the services in lockstep, dependency wise.

I'm using kubernetes at with, the overhead is rather small (with k3s) and mostly it's working pretty great.

I recently switched to nixos which makes dependency management and configuration itself much easier. Probably the best option to run things on bare metal IMO.
