You're running on GKE. Of course that's easy, they're handling all the difficult parts for you! It's still not that difficult running it on your own servers, but there are many more pain points.

Please get some experience with that, then re-evaluate whether Docker or Kubernetes is easier for small deployments.

Right, I agree.

But with your easier Swarm setup, how do you then attach cloud disks directly to your docker container, like a PersistentVolume affords? That one feature makes basically anything worth it, IMO. Most apps are stateful.

You don't, because you're running on your own hardware, and there is no concept of cloud disks. There are some solutions like Ceph, but they're tough to setup.

Usually I just pin containers to hosts. This is fine on a small setup. In fact, many of my small setups are just a single host.

Try ProxMox. They have it built-in.

You use one of the Docker plugins: https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-aws/persistent-data-volum... https://github.com/thecodeteam/rexray

NFS mounts, provisioned via the same configuration management platform the hardware is provisioned by (Saltstack in my case)
