Considering switching the #MinIO backend of #mstdndk to #Garage by #deuxfleurs. 3 replicas on #Kubernetes. Anyone with real life experience and/or tips? :-)

We're hiring an SRE into our team in Adelaide, South Australia. If you're a Linux person with good k8s infra skills and you want a job that lets you work on global-scale products, check it out: https://job-boards.greenhouse.io/sonyinteractiveentertainmentglobal/jobs/5624470004
Boosts for visibility very welcome :)

Dear lazyweb!
Does anyone here have enough #kubernetes experience to try and convince me I should use it for managing a fleet of services which are NOT web services?
(My gut feeling is k8s is not designed for this so I'd struggle, but I don't know enough to know what I don't know.)
I had k8s on a RasPi and called it tinykube.
I have k8s on a beefier server and called it mightykube.
I want to deploy a test cluster, but for some reason I’m reluctant to call it testikube.

@HerraBRE What are you expecting form #Kubernetes?
Kubernetes is a completely different way of building and managing your infra.
For example, I switched my #homelab from VMs to K8s 2 years ago because I wanted a GitOps approach, immutability, easy observability, L2 load balancers, advanced network policies up to L7, Mesh, HA, and so on.
You can achieve the same with Linux & Containers, but Kubernetes gives you a standardized and opinionated way of doing it.
You LOVE it or HATE it.

Is anyone out there hosting Open Cloud? From what I gathered, it's a fork of ownCloud Infinite Scale, that was itself a Go rewrite of ownCloud.
I could use something more lightweight, focused, and easy to host on Kubernetes than Nextcloud.
How easy it is to host? How reliable is it? How good are the mobile apps?
Getting around to deploying Authentik on my cluster, and I'm a bit surprised by the example values on artifacthub.
Is it common practice in Kubernetes to mount secrets as volumes so you can reference them like that?
https://artifacthub.io/packages/helm/goauthentik/authentik#advanced-values-examples
There is something profoundly satisfying to pushing a manifest to a private github repo, seeing ArgoCD deploy it and seeing the change live in k9s.
Sealed secrets seem to be much easier to set up and use than SOPS, at least for the homelab use case?

If you use #Kubernetes, there's a good chance you're also using ESO. Bad news: The project is currently frozen while it seeks out maintainers to keep it going.
At @fairkom we are planning the next generation of servers offering virtual machines. While we are deploying many applications on our own #kubernetes cluster, there is still the need of VMs for development and some support services.
What is your preferred #opensource VM management tool? Proxmox, virsh, oVirt, OpenNebula or OpenStack?
It should be expandable and support various storage backends. A web GUI would be nice, but isn't that a security issue on the host?

Originally, I was a bit skeptical on the shepherd-on-goblins idea, but after reading the blog post and revaluating the idea one more time I feel it can be a big thing. In combination with #guix, it potentially times simpler and much more sane than #kubernetes and friends.
