Yes, those are all great uses of it. But could all still be achieved with docker containers running on some machines at home, right?

Have you ever had a situation where features provided by kubernetes (like replicas, load balancers, etc) came in handy?

I’m not criticizing, I’m genuinely curious if there’s a use-case for kubernetes for personal self-hosting (besides learning).

Seems a bit overkill for a personal use selfhosting set-up.

Personally, I don’t need anything that requires multiple replicas and loadbalencers.

Do people who have homelabs actually need them? Or is it just for learning?

I love blogs, specially from people with niche interests and experiences. I follow them via RSS. So that’s what I read outside of Lemmy / Reddit / Mastodon.

Recently I’ve been following the blog written by an IT guy working in a research station in Antarctica (also has a great domain name).
