And than your network stops working for couple of days, and you are @#£#&. Or your backups did not work for couple of months, and you find out the hard way!

I have some hardware for fun and learning, but it is well isolated. Using K8s for home infrastructure is bad idea.

Whatever technology you use, it doesn't dispense you from monitoring and making it resilient. K8s isn't different from anything else in that regard.

With K8s on bunch of Pis I have dozens of layers, machines, network connections to monitor.

With single server, complexity is much much lower. I installed my server years ago, once a month I check logs and do updates (10 minutes of work). Some time next year I will upgrade to Ubuntu 24.04 and replace SSD (just in case), about 1 hour of work.

K8s is really horrible when it comes to time efficiency!
