I’m not sure I follow. Do you mean that you use containers but without Kubernetes? If so, that sounds like a wise choice. AFAICT, Kubernetes is meant for really massive-scale deployments, so it seems quite clear to me that using it for home use is overkill.

Yes, that was my conclusion as well.
A general pattern I see in software is that it scales up much better than it scales down, and Kubernetes is definitely like that. I had hopes it would be useful and educational to run for personal projects, but it's just too heavy.

Interesting observation. I think you’re on to something there.

Kubernetes is actually a set of interfaces. In this case, they are not using default Kubernetes implementation but a simplified one : k3s so the experience could be different. Or not. But it certainly can't be judge on wpietri experience as is.
