I don’t know in which extend you plan to use Kubernetes in the future, but if it is aimed to become several huge production clusters, you should looks into Apps like Rancher: https://rancher.com.

But I think once you have a good understanding of K8S internal (components, how thing work underlying, etc.), you can use some tool to help you provision / maintain k8s cluster easier (look for https://rancher.com/ and alternatives).

A few years, I would have said no. Now, I’m cautiously optimistic about it. Personally, I think that you can use something like Rancher (https://rancher.com/) or Portainer (https://www.portainer.io/) for easier management and/or dashboard functionality, to make the learning curve a bit more approachable. For example, you can create a deployment through the UI by following a wizard that also offers you…

Alternatively, it is also possible to use a multi-cloud or hybrid-cloud approach, which combines several cloud providers or even public and private clouds. Special tools such as Rancher and OpenShift can be very useful to run this type of system.

Rancher provides a Rancher authentication proxy that allows user authentication from a central location. With this proxy, you can set the credential for authenticating users that want to access your Kubernetes clusters. You can create, view, update, or delete users through Rancher’s UI and API.

Not sure if it works on arm but I heard that rancher and harvester are a good combo for clustering k3s and kvm if you want to try both technologies.

Rancher is a container management platform that provides Kubernetes as a service with built-in support for multi-cluster orchestration. Rancher supports the spinning of clusters on various environments like on-premise data centers, cloud, and edge (clusters that run anywhere).

I’ve deployed linuxserver/plex docker container using Rancher v2.6 (https://rancher.com/) on my Ubuntu server and have run into the well documented issue (e.g. https://www.reddit.com/r/PleX/comments/ei3bor/plex_docker_file_permissions_issues/ / https://www.reddit.com/r/docker/comments/apl2xg/help_with_volume_mapping_mount_points_for_plex/) where I’m able to pass the volumes which contain my existing media library…

Home automation with HASS + HomeBridge, security with Motion (with the MotionEye frontend), DNS level ad blocking with PiHole, hosting projects using Rancher, and hosting source code and CI/CD with GitLab CE, backing up my fav content with Plex, backups + local cloud + general storage with TrueNAS Core.

Absolutely. I’m also a bit of k8s noob, but I know that systems like Rancher can help mitigate some of the complexity with setting up your own k8s control plane.

I’m learning Ansible*, and put together a playbook which runs well for me, that sets up Kubernetes on Ubuntu 20.04 and installs an HA version of Rancher running on an RKE cluster as per their documentation.

Rancher Desktop is another alternative to Docker Desktop. It is maintained by Rancher. In my experience I wasn’t able to fully integrate it. It is under active development. It is definitely an alternative.

When you deploy containers to your development cluster, you will need quick access to logging to analyze container errors. A good solution is to deploy Rancher in your DevOps cluster. Rancher has many features:.

Dropping by to express healthy interest in this project. Rancher have a pretty good track record so far:

  - the Rancher platform itself (https://rancher.com/) is a really powerful and user friendly way to manage container clusters of all sorts, giving you a self-hosted dashboard for both your cloud and on prem clusters, for a variety of Kubernetes distributions; you can even manage the available...

That’s great! Did you use a Kubernetes distribution that’s provided by the OS, like MicroK8s ( https://microk8s.io/ )? Or perhaps one of the lightweight ones, like K3s ( https://k3s.io/ ) or k0s ( https://k0sproject.io/ )? Maybe a turnkey one, like RKE ( https://rancher.com/products/rke/ )? Or did you use something like kubespray ( https://kubespray.io/#/ ) to create a cluster in a semi automated fashion?…

Seems interesting, but the name conflict with https://rancher.com/ is _very_ confusing. Is Rancher Desktop associated with the linked company?

The tooling around Docker Swarm is also pretty good and minimalist, for example, you can use Portainer (which also supports Kubernetes), much like you would use Rancher for easy administration of clusters.

I think that the contradiction here comes from the fact that these tools that are suited for large scale operations, like Kubernetes, end up getting standartized and adopted even by smaller corporations, which have neither the specialists, nor the resources to utilize them properly. Be it because of FOMO (fear of missing out), CV driven development or something else entirely, but I’ve seen this a number of times…
