I use ceph block storage

Same here :) Fedora sericea to be exact

In my opinion in modern computing I’d rather be on a “faster” releasing distro such as Fedora, Arch Linux. Modern hardware depends constant patches to the kernel to keep up with new sleep management changes and improvements to the GPU stack etc.

Firstly, awesome to hear you’re using bjw-s app-template helm chart. He’s my good friend and former coworker :)

I’m also doing what @seang96@exploding-heads.com is doing.

While I don’t consider this completed yet I have posted how I’m doing things so far here

I agree with this. I think single node or not the industry is moving towards Kubernetes for container orchestration. Docker has showed their evil intentions and it’s time to leave them in the past. Even podman has native kubernetes manifest support (albeit limited last i checked) as @rs5th@lemmy.scottlabs.io pointed out there’s good avenues to take if you want to avoid the complexities of kubernetes like k3s.
