Hey everyone.

Made a post a few days ago, I took the bullet and ordered the new drives + new PC, all arriving tomorrow. I am having a lot of a problem finding a good OS though.

I mainly use Ubuntu + docker compose right now, but I would like to use K8S (I'm also learning it for work, so it's a win win for me) so I can re-purpose my laptop or add any other new PCs I get in the future to a pool.

I looked into TrueNAS, while it seems nice for a NAS, I don't want my server to be JUST that, you know? I know it runs K3S underneath and you could technically run compose too but it's not suggested from what's I've seen / read.

So, what to do? Should I learn helm charts instead of compose? Should I choose another OS? Should I just stick with Ubuntu and create a ZFS pool there?

​

I'm eager to see what you suggest, thanks for your time!
