external-dns

I'm doing something similar though I've opted specifically to _do_ use Kubernetes via k0s [0]. It works wonderfully well and allows me to use most things that are available in the k8s ecosystem like cert-manager [1] and external-dns [2]. All configuration is stored in Git and the server itself is basically disposable as it only runs k0s and some very basic stuff like iptables rules. I see this sentiment quite a lot that k8s is too complex for small scale setups, but in my experience it scales down very well to small setups. Granted, you do have to know how to work with k8s, but once you learn that you can apply that knowledge to many different kinds of setups like k0s, bare metal, EKS/AKS etc. [0] https://k0sproject.io/ [1] https://cert-manager.io/ [2] https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/external-dns

I guess that would really depend on your setup. It would differ significantly if you’re doing virtualised nodes ontop of vmware/proxmox/qemi/etc, if you’re doing single node with storage, or if you’re doing something more exotic like raspberry pis with either one node with storage or external nas. I have a couple of different setups (mostly for fun), which are pretty simple. Main things I use are a csi driver to allow me to use my trunas scale as storage (https://github.com/democratic-csi/democratic-csi), cloudflare’s argo tunnel to expose my clusters to the outside world (https://github.com/cloudflare/cloudflare-ingress-controller), an operator for managing external dns with cloudflare (https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/external-dns/blob/master/...). Everything else is pretty much they way any other cluster would look. In regards to da

> Single node proxmox VM/LXC mix homeserver. Is learning K8S worthwhile? Maybe, although if you're fully happy with your current setup then probably not unless you just want to explore and learn new things. I use kubernetes "at home" (ok, well it's an OVH server, but I use it for personal/home stuff), and I like it. I happen to run a wide variety of apps for myself and friends, already used docker, and I was somewhat reaching the limits of docker compose. I really like the consistent ecosystem, and that k8s cleanly deals with problems like TLS termination with LE[1] and automatically updating my DNS[2]. I like that I can just write down what I want in a YAML file and don't have to mess around with docker commands or package managers or what else. It's not for everyone, but I wouldn't say there's no value in it, especially if you're alread

> Is there a service for autoconfiguring the DNS There is! I use external-dns. [1] I haven't actually set up a Let's Encrypt wildcard cert, but I'm pretty certain cert-manager [2] supports it. I don't think you need a proxy if you use the DNS01 challenges. [1] https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/external-dns/ [2] https://cert-manager.io/docs/
