If it's images, files then something like S3. If it's a database then I mount it locally on the host.
What do you do if the host goes down?
For people who self host with like setups or even simpler - how you guarantee network access? where I live internet might be shaky at times, and for that I can't access my home setup while away. How do you deal with that?

Nothing happens to the data -- it's still intact when the host comes back up. Happy to clarify further though if that's not what you meant.
I guess that's fine, I'm just used to having labs to test how I can avoid single instance failures. :)
Good first version, i am excited for the beta!

It doesn't make sense, but often people who set up K8s at home do it for educational reasons or just having a playground so they are more capable at administering systems like that at work.
Sure, using K8S in your learning envornment because you're managing 800 different services in your dayjob is fine. Personally I have my learning environment as part of my day job though. At home I just want things to work, hence a nice simple LAMP
This needs a companion guide about how to set up the host machine. Which Linux distro to choose, how to set it up / harden it, nftables / firewall, public key login, etc. If anyone has one handy, I'd appreciate a link.
Having my own personal CloudBox has allowed me to experiment and fail fast. I am ahead in experience and knowledge than the rest of my team as a result. I have a tool they do not. I realize it would be better if we all had a tool like this.
So that’s the pitch, a single node “cloud in a box’, the CloudBox for IT students or professionals to learn any aspect of IT.
Now I just need lots more time to actually turn my prototype into a product.

I can’t think of a single time I’ve had an Apache config break with upgrades - other than having to recompile the webservice proxy module to change the case of the Upgrade header for a device that doesn’t work with the standards and is case sensitive (Major upgrades every couple of years break the binary compatibility)
I am pretty confident it broke for me between 12.04 and 14.04 Ubuntu releases, and I am pretty sure both were already in the 2.x series. Most likely the change in NameVirtualHost behaviour as listed at https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/upgrading.html , but there are a bunch of other changes too.

Regarding my client connection while away from home: If my client doesn't have a connection, cloud services don't work any better. But a lot of apps (e.g. bitwarden, some jellyfin clients, etc) are smart enough to work offline to some extent via operating on cashed resources.

I've used everything under the sun and for homelab use IMO nothing beats using docker-compose and salt. 1. Unless you have crazy dynamic scaling needs, there's literally no point in using k8s or nomad 2. Unless you want RBAC and fine tuned ACL, theres literally no point in using k8s or Nomad I hate this idea that you need a Ceph cluster and a 3 node HA cluster to have a home lab. Not saying don't do it because you wa…
I was settled on Docker-Compose and Ansible for a long time, and while it was indeed quite easy to use once everything was tweaked correctly, what finally got me to move to k8s was HA. Having a single node with nginx, DNS resolution and Unifi controller running on it meant if I ever took the node down down for something, everything broke. Plex being down because I wanted to play with something unrelated wasn't ideal.…

do you use k3s in production as well ?
Is production == my day job? If so we don't, we use managed Kubernetes (we used to manage our own clusters but they will be decommissioned soon).
