Loving K3S so far, I've got a "homelab" of 4 RPis running it and so far it has been pretty seamless experience.
I've been using a 3 nuc (actually Ryzen devices) k3s on SuSE MicroOS https://microos.opensuse.org/ for my homelab for a while, and I really like it. They made some really nice decisions on which parts of k8s to trim down and which Networking / LB / Ingress to use. The option to use sqlite in place of etcd on an even lighter single node setup makes it super interesting for even lighter weight homelab container environ…
"Lightweight Kubernetes" and then a graph involving 2 different nodes with 10+ services running on them. Nomad seems to be a truly "lightweight Kubernetes" and for the small amount of time I've been using it, it seems to do it's job really well and it's easy to understand all the moving pieces without spending countless of hours reading docs and source code. Although, it's hard to recommend Nomad for future uses as i…
> "Lightweight Kubernetes" and then a graph involving 2 different nodes with 10+ services running on them. Among its many strengths, core services for running Kubernetes running inside Kubernetes itself is one of its greatest. > it's easy to understand all the moving pieces It's legit to leverage your pre-existing knowledge. Nomad + Linux Pets + Other Hashichorp Pets works well. There are many ways to run an applicat…

Nomad seems to be a truly "lightweight Kubernetes" k3s requirements: 1 node, 512MB RAM, 1 CPU core Nomad requirements: "Nomad servers may need to be run on large machine instances. We suggest having between 4-8+ cores, 16-32 GB+ of memory, 40-80 GB+ of fast disk and significant network bandwidth." https://docs.k3s.io/installation/requirements https://developer.hashicorp.com/nomad/docs/install/productio...

Hashicorp is playing safe here, Nomad can do with far far less resources.

The idea is to more easily get going with Kubernetes, not to provide an alternative. Nomad and K3s serve a completely different use case.
Interestingly, SUSE now owns Rancher [0], so k3s has been backed by a large company for some time now. I've never tried k3s, but I have always thought it's probably the most loved-by-its-users version of Kubernetes. [0] https://www.suse.com/news/suse-completes-rancher-acquisition...
If you want to easily try it out, we baked it into Rancher Desktop [1]. RD let's you run Kubernetes (via k3s) and containers on your desktop. You pick the k8s version. [1] https://rancherdesktop.io/ Disclosure, I work for SUSE and started Rancher Desktop.
