Re:Unironically using Kubernetes for my personal blog

Agreed, while i've dabbled in Kubernetes, most of my homelab and hybrid cloud infrastructure (think ~10-20 nodes) runs in Docker Swarm with Portainer for graphical administration.
A while back i also tried Nomad, and while it felt polished, it was also a bit lacking in features (manual encryption config, mostly read-only UI, though that was a while back).
It's a shame that Docker Swarm never got more popular, because in my mind it's basically the sweet spot between running containers directly or using Docker Compose and full blown Kubernetes distributions. The Compose manifest format that it uses is really great and clear in my mind, instead of Kubernetes with all of its selectors, object types and so on.
