@plexus my homelab is powered by a single python script that basically reimplements rsync over ssh and can trigger commands on changes to specific paths (like, /etc/nginx.conf changed => docker restart nginx) It's like... 10% of ansible I guess? But whenever I describe this to people they're like "have you considered kubernetes?" and it's well under 10% of the complexity of *that* 4 comments
@emily @plexus I was actually going to propose "docker, it's like kubernetes but simpler" for the same reason. I could run kubernetes at home, but really I've only got one computer so docker-compose is much simpler. (It's fine if people want to run k8s at home - all power to them, it's just not on my enjoys list) @SamJSharpe @plexus yeah, I do my containerization with docker-compose too (I have an /etc/compose.yaml and the above tool configured to do the `docker-compose up` thing on changes to it) @emily @plexus whenever someone says "have you considered kubernetes?", my answer is almost always, "yes, but no" 😂. Same reason I have a Mac laptop. I could (and have) run Linux as a desktop, but now I don't want to expend the effort doing it when I could be using that time to do things I actually enjoy - I'd probably do the same as you and create a quick Python or even Shell script to do a task and move onto things I personally find more interesting. |

@emily I once heard someone say "use kubernetes if you have a $1M ops problem to solve", and that has been my rule of thumb ever since. Less than a six figure ops budget = no kubernetes for you.
