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 have a K3OS cluster built out of a bunch of raspberry pis, it works well.
The big reason I like kubernetes is that once it is up and running with git ops style management, adding another service becomes trivial.
I just copy paste one if my e is ting services, tweak the names/namespaces, and then change the specific for the pods to match what their docker configuration needs, ie what folders need mounting and any other secrets or configs.
I then just commit the changes to github and apply them to the cluster.
The process of being able to roll back changes via git is awesome
I'd love to hear more about your GitHub to K8s setup. I've been thinking about doing something similar, but I'm not sure how to keep my public stuff public while injecting my personalized (private) configuration during deployment.
