lol, the big problem with kubernetes is that none of the choices have been made, it's not opinionated at all, there's no conventions. It's all configuration and choices all the way down. There's way too much yaml, and way to many choices for ever tiny component, it's just too much.

I do run a k3s cluster for home stuff... But I really wish I could get what it provides in a much simpler solution.

My dream solution would effectively do the same as k3s + storage, but with a much simpler config, zero yaml, zero choices for components, very limited configuration options, it should just do the right ting by default. Storage (both volume and s3), networking, scale to zero, functions, jobs, ingress, etc... should all just be built in.

You're going to have to write some sort of config. It not being opinionated it a good thing. It lets you deploy just about anything under the sun.

		Well... we have k8s for that... I do not wish to take k8s away from those who like it, I am asking for a new solution that's very opinionated, and as close to zero config as practical.

In what cases do you need autoscaling on your home stuff?

		I have limited ram and want scale to zero for apps that use a lot of ram, but I only use one of at a time like game servers, or things that can be done over night while I sleep like media encoding. The main reason I went to k8s, is for the not having to think about what machine will have enough resources to run an app, just throw it at the cluster and it figures out where there's capacity. And, I want hardware failing/getting replaced to be a non issue. edit: I wanted to add that my hobby is not systems admin, I want it to be as hands off as possible. Self-hosting is a means to an end. I have so far saved over $200/month in subscriptions by replacing subscriptions I was using with self-hosted alternatives. I can now use that money on my actual hobbies.
