Oh believe me I know. Hence getting more mini pcs and wanting a NAS. 10 vms is not enough!
You are going to want a single larger server and docker
Much easier maintenance
If you’re crazy, you’ll go with Kubernetes . I personally recommend it., I love it.
But I also work in it every day, so there’s a convenience there, but the complexity is off the charts .
I don’t like the idea of a single large server. If a node fails, everything goes tits up. If I have multiple nodes and one fails, my other services have zero downtime.
Convince me otherwise - I don’t work in this industry I teach boomers how to use MS Word haha.
Ahhhh now you’re talking kubernetes.
I mean you can do it with 2 machines and docker compose, but yeah.
If you have a docker compose, you can just bring it to a new machine with the storage medium and hit “go” and it’ll go.
That’ll probably be enough for a home setup and have a 1 hr downtime in a failure.
If you want “always hot” kubernetes is basically “multi-node docker on cocaine “
Damn, that addiction is strong lol.
I’m happy to help where I can but it’s a FUCKTON of knowledge and setup to go far enough to kubernetes it.
Docker-compose is 100x easier and gets you 95% of what you need.
