TLDR: The r/selfhosted subreddit has a Discord server. The owner’s account got hacked leaving the server in a precarious state. They submitted a support ticket, but Discord has not taken action in weeks and probably won’t at all, so they are considering starting a new Discord server.
My hotest selfhosting take is that stuff I use in my day job, docker/k8s/cloud is not worth it and generally worse for long-term self hosting than a Debian box.
Like I have the skills to troubleshoot containerized setups, it’s litterally my dayjob, but I’d rather not deal with it in my freetime unless there is no other way to run it.
Honestly, I’m really happy with the ability to just try out stuff with docker and then nuke the entire compose stack if it does not work. I also know perfectly where any possible leftovers from the attempt are (the bind mounts or volumes) and can be certain I deleted everything I “installed”.
Although I have to admit that I absolutely had some issues with containers in the past, mainly when there are two or more containers with dependencies on one another.
Never used k8s or the cloud so I have nothing to comment on that ;D
After using Proxmox for a while, I swear by LXC, at least the way it is provided there.
Makes containerization make sense without all the pain.
Disclaimer: not even an IT guy, so can be gravely mistaken, just want to own my stuff.
Is that a hot take? I see a lot of people saying this, including myself. Kubernetes solves problems at work, but is way overkill even for my moderately elaborate home setup that would cause more troubles than it solves. If people want to use k8s at home go ahead, but I don’t.
k8s is overkill for majority of companies as well
