When doing a homelab, it starts to get hard to manage multiple deployments to different hosts.
I really like using Gitops and having as much as my infrastructue in code as possible. Tools like terraform and ansible are great for that, but when it comes to just managing containers I haven't found a great way of doing that. If you're talking about single node docker hosts.
Portainer is a great setup but it didn't feel great managing files that I wanted to bind into my container.
I tried Ansible, i just had issues with it removing labels I no longer wanted on the container.
It feels like a lot of overhead, but using K3s and Argocd felt like the best solution. But what are we talking about, its a homelab. Is there too much overhead???
Absolutely Not!
I like to use my homelab to push my boundaries and learn new ways of doing things.
