Hey everyone.
Made a post a few days ago, I took the bullet and ordered the new drives + new PC, all arriving tomorrow. I am having a lot of a problem finding a good OS though.
I mainly use Ubuntu + docker compose right now, but I would like to use K8S (I’m also learning it for work, so it’s a win win for me) so I can re-purpose my laptop or add any other new PCs I get in the future to a pool.
I looked into TrueNAS, while it seems nice for a NAS, I don’t want my server to be JUST that, you know? I know it runs K3S underneath and you could technically run compose too but it’s not suggested from what’s I’ve seen / read.
So, what to do? Should I learn helm charts instead of compose? Should I choose another OS? Should I just stick with Ubuntu and create a ZFS pool there?
I’m eager to see what you suggest, thanks for your time!
Proxmox with various VMs is what I use, and I do like it. Also it’s a very light OS, I have a 4c4t Ryzen chip running three Linux (Ubuntu and Debian) VM’s running a few services and one Windows 11 (this is just to mess around) and at most 50% CPU usage.
If you want to still mess with containers you can use Prox, load up a VM, and then run containers in that VM.
