Without supported loadbalancer Kubernetes is no fun / not doable in my opinion.

For Hetzner for example, there are some recipes to be found to use an LB and also volumes.

I’ve stepped back to docker compose with a traefik proxy which takes labels from the containers to decide where to route what.

Highly recommended!

Thank you for your sacrifice. It will not be forgotten.

I was an avid nginx user but having caddy handle the ssl certificate creation and renewal is amazing.

I probably am outdated on nginx (maybe it supports it?) but caddy is what I use from here on out.

I don’t know about the history of selfhosted, I use a vps at hetzner which serves as playground and I use a mini desktop (hp elitedesk) as my home automation lab.

This community is an inspiration on spotting new techniques and software to discover!

May I comments you both for the openness, politeness and helpfulness displayed here?

Thanks!

I also found the response informative, and thanks for making lemmy/fediverse happen!
