K3s is fantastic especially for local development with Kubernetes when orchestrated using k3d. This is what we use for most of our internal K8s testing at OpenC3.

Can this tool help to simplify self hosting implems? K3s was recommended to me to replace my personal pile of systemd units starting docker compose configs and manual reverse proxy configs.

Im am completely oblivious to how k8s works.

Why use this over kubernetes, if it's the same but less memory why not only use k3s ans drop k8s

Start with hashicorp nomad. Less of a learning curve and easy to set up. Traefik can do automatic discovery of services in nomad. Definitely better than a bunch of systemd units.

forget about it if you want to run it on an IPv6-only VPS, it's not ready yet

> We wanted an installation of Kubernetes that was half the size in terms of memory footprint. Kubernetes is a 10 letter word stylized as k8s. So something half as big as Kubernetes would be a 5 letter word stylized as K3s. There is neither a long-form of K3s nor official pronunciation.
