Have your experiences with Kubernetes been positive?

>>106165456 (OP)
What do you need that shit for?

>>106165456 (OP)
Well, not Kubernetes, but Docker Swarm.
Tried to use multiple storage using mounted NFS. Wasn't a good time... I wouldn't use it for the volumes themselves, only for persistent media and keep some storage on each node for the containers themselves.
Overall? Pretty good. 7.5/10.

>>106165456 (OP)
Kubernetes is awful, but building a cluster at home is still better than therapy.

>>106165511
Nice found another /g/ user who’s never written a line of code for money

>>106165456 (OP)
Pays my bills/10

>>106165543
NTA but still explain. I kinda wanna do this but can't imagine a use case and don't wanna build in to just sit there

how do I into devops?

It wa fine with 1 node, until I tried the cluster part and I couldn't join 2nd node no matter what.

>>106165456 (OP)
Yes until I had to upgrade. You can't have just one cluster. You need a prod and staging to test your upgrades. That's where the journey ended. K3s was pretty cool.

>>106165456 (OP)
I use Docker extensively both at work and for personal projects, but I've never felt any urge to learn Kubernetes. It looks wildly overcomplicated. Just use Docker Compose on generic VPSs along with your cloud provider's load balancer services.

>>106165456 (OP)
What is the best way to get your feet wet with Kubernetes? I've used Docker and ZFS a lot and have an ancient tower PC that I could probably fix and mess around with. Can you get any type of reasonable experience from running Kubernetes on a single home PC?

I came here to say this

bros I have a question/life scenario I was going to throw in /sqt/, but it seems sort of relevant to this thread actually.

I am unemployed and looking for a job. My niche resume and the current job market seems to have pigeonholed me into only being able to get interviews for ELK stack development. The problem with that is I don't know shit about the ELK stack, or all these data pipelines and shit that interconnect with it or whatever the fuck. I mean I'm not technologically retarded, I use VMs and stuff, but once you add containers and cloud and APIs and shit, I'm lost. And then I read the job descriptions and they're like oh also lol Grafana, Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, IaC, clusters, AWS integration, Helm, Ansible, and I want to fucking cry. ELK ended up on my resume pretty much by accident, but I guess everything else I've ever done and am actually good at is irrelevant in the current job market.

So I'm thinking about going ahead and actually learning all this ELK stuff. But I hardly even know what to ask to get started. I think, to get anything relevant out of it, I need a whole computer environment with previously mentioned Kubernetes, Docker, containers, whatever. I just have a strong desktop and some ChinkPads. Should I get a server or some cheap miniPCs or do it all in the cloud or uhh...? Give up maybe?
pls halp

Self-hosting k8s properly is a pain in the ass. Surely you can install kind and mess around, and it's totally solid for basic stuff and maybe some more in-depth experimentation with DB clustering.
But if you want to practice deploying some devops shit everyone uses (gitlab with runners, kafka, prometheus+grafana, minio, etc.) - as much as I hate to say it, you better unironically pay for some managed K8s in cloud.
Self-hosted k8s is in very, very specific demand and I can't really recommend it to noob - build a wider stack, not deeper, or you won't get hired.

If you need a kubernetes cluster, your shit is so bloated it makes jeetslop look like templeos.

>>106165456 (OP)
People see this and think it's smart, but none of you fuckers use Plan9 or Inferno.

>>106165456 (OP)
My salary has literally doubled since I learned it.

>>106165456 (OP)
That's a lot of power usage to do nothing.

>>106165456 (OP)
I refuse to deal with containerization (no, I'm not a NEET. I just have a non-tech job. Incredible, I know.)

>>106165456 (OP)
what's a kubernete?

>>106166520
Did an upgrade break your cluster so hard that you couldn't fix it in reasonable time?

>>106172032
Yeah, atleast I was not skilled enough to fix it fast. Instead of letting the cluster rot, decided to reinstall. Then few upgrades were fine, when it broke again, I stopped using it and went back to single server.
