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’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.

      As a bonus, you can just join multiple machines to the cluster and have work spread out over them.

      Use Podman with Systemd & Quadlet. Like bare-metal but without the annoyances you mention.
