I do understand your point. Like the other person said I did learn a bunch of stuff while deploying this. Also, I plan to run a bunch of services for my homelab and Kubernetes provides a bunch of features out of the box like rolling updates, scaling, etc which take a lot of hassle out of devops.

I deployed this using https://k3s.io/ which takes 5 min to set up. Moreover, I use Kubernetes in my job everyday so the complexity wasn't there for me.
