Yea it’s very easy to learn enough to run, it has built-in service discovery and secrets now, and writing parameterized jobs feels so much nicer than a helm chart in k8s.
10/10, would orchestrate again

I use k8s at work a lot - I choose to use Nomad at home, you may want to add that to your shortlist.
I am nearly complete migrating my ceph cluster and nomad compute cluster to arm :shrug:
My day job is a lot of kube/openshift so nomad is refreshing. Having the template blocks are amazing and makes it so that much of what helm gave me is not required. Parameterized jobs are the best once you find a good use case for them!
Every time we see this in our legacy code we yell out: dolla-dolla bills 'yall!
(after) …ah crap it’s actually selinux…
Nomad is a breath of fresh air after working with k8s professionally.
Don’t get me wrong, love k8s, but it’s a bit much (until you need it)
Ceph is excellent as a distributed storage solution - but should really have 4 machines with 2 or more drives each to reach a good level of redundancy - which is a bit much for most people on this sub.
One nice feature is it deals with heterogeneous drives well, like if you need to buy a bunch of used ones on eBay for cheap.
Probably not a good solution for your case because of the footprint - but good to be aware of it.
Ok that’s pretty cool (good bot)
How excellent for my MQTT behind nginx next to my pihole

Nanopi R5C. Cute little buggers too.
I have 2 pi4 4GB boards and was waiting forever to get a third to run RAFT based services across.
I gave up last year and bought 3 chinese boards at $60/ea with 2x 2.5Gb Ethernet each, emmc, and a m.2 slot - and they run at half the temp of the pi4 boards.
I never needed the wifi/bt and form-factor the pi boards offered anyway - really no reason to stay as long as you can find software that boots on other boards.
I run drone.io with gitea, it’s nice, doesn’t do much when it’s not working.
Gitea added their own CI tooling that is configured like GitHub actions as well - I haven’t tried it yet though.
Ceph (rbd,s3) on 4 poweredges.
Nomad, Consul servers running in a 3 node raft on some ARM SBCs.
Nomad clients on 2 poweredges and 3 arm SBCs running:
And that is just in the server room - I also have more like the 3d printer and CNC machine controllers etc.
Sometimes I wonder if in 75 years people will look back on our caffeine use in this generation like we currently look back at cocaine use in products in the 19th century. Until then, I continue to slurp down coffee like that is my actual job.
