Hi Aya, I'm a total noob as far as clothing goes, but when I get to the page I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do? Maybe adding an example of what can be possible would be very beneficial, kind of like tiiny.host has, it the section of "how it works".
you do what you can, usually I wake up early in the morning, do some trolling on the internet and get to work on my side stuff before my day job starts.
then just skip images all together....just use a simple vm and deploy your binaries there
That's too simple to the point where it will cause problems and extra maintenance.
To be clear, what I'm looking for is a "middle ground" solution that doesn't involve all of the configuration required to deploy and manage a K8S cluster, but still gives me some of the benefits I might get from that.
I have production experience with K8s - it works great especially at a large scale (my last company was doing hundreds of thousands of QPS), but I'm not a fan for small deployments.
Things I need:
- Reverse proxy (because I'm not going to serve traffic directly from the app, that is a risky proposition given bot/nefarious traffic - dev servers aren't meant to be true web servers for that reason)
- Environment variable and secret injection
- Some way to deploy apps easily and replace old apps, ideally with zero downtime
- Some way to set up postgres
This is exactly what Kamal, Dokku, and similar solutions provide without needing too much extra config - so I'm leaning in the direction of one of those.
What you probably want is rancher, I've been using it for years on end in Hetzner, I was very critical on them but for what you want it should be perfect. You get a web based interface, and can click on objects which is really useful cause it gets you a nice overview of the whole cluster. Plus you can install stuff helm charts through it and so on. If you need some help I could give you a more detailed direction
Ultimately I'm skipping everything related to K8S, the level of complexity there is not warranted for what I'm trying to do
This is something I'll revisit at a much different stage when I have a lot more scale to worry about, thanks for letting me know about Rancher as I wasn't aware it existed

I burned it in an hour, from what I've seen the 200 bucks plan is the one without any token limits
Yes, I think so. Its too pricey for me so I am going to be judicial with this plan.
