A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

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'm not sure what you mean by that.

It provides high availability if you have multiple nodes and pods.

Also what do you mean by single service per cluster? Because that's not the idea at all.

Of course high availability always requires multiple nodes.

Its just that while choosing how to set up my cluster I looked up several options (proxmox, swarm, kubernetes...) and I noticed that kubernetes is generally meant for bigger deployments.

I only need a single replica for each of my containers and they can all run on a single node, so kubernetes is overkill just to get high availability For my use case
