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?

    Nomad is a breath of fresh air after working with k8s professionally.

    Don’t get me wrong, love k8s, but it’s a bit much (until you need it)

      I’ve been reading into k3s out of curiosity, which as I understand is supposed to be one of the simpler ones, and even as someone who works as a developer and maintains a small homelab, it just makes me feel utterly clueless lol. Which is to say, I’ll definitely be giving Nomad a good look.

      Oh and if you do happen to have any other more newbie friendly suggestions, I’d love to hear about them!
