charts VS kubegres

Spinning up workloads in kubernetes is much different than just spinning up a container in docker or even with docker compose. If someone has not already packaged it in a helm chart or some other kubernetes workload you'll have to develop one yourself. There are some nice library charts you can use as a base that should handle just about any random docker image you want to deploy. https://github.com/bjw-s/helm-charts/tree/main/charts/library/common there is also a repo of pre developed charts for common images. https://github.com/k8s-at-home/charts but be aware it was recently deprecated so it won't be receiving any updates.

Take a look at https://github.com/k8s-at-home/charts (recently deprecated but still a fantastic resource) - there are charts for the popular Arrs , tools, etc. You could deploy each chart individually into a namespace, or you could create yourself an "umbrella" chart which pulls in all the necessary charts as dependencies.

Library charts. A very thorough example can be seen here and usages of it here.

Could it be related to this? https://github.com/k8s-at-home/charts/pull/1435/files

I'd submitted a helm chart at https://github.com/k8s-at-home/charts/tree/master/charts/stable/firefly-iii if you want to try out

I know /u/stefantigro means well but the way you are both doing the helm charts is not ideal, helm charts are meant to be shared, not as a means to install apps into your cluster from a local folder. While they can be, it's not a good pattern. Take the helm chart from here for example. This is a published helm chart you can install using the commands in the Readme and you only need to provide the configuration for your instance from the values.yaml file. You can take a look at the values I use for this helm chart here. You can also see I'm using an custom Sonarr image, this image is tailored to running in Kubernetes

There is a working Helm chart for k8s-at-home that should be a good starting point. The biggest hurdle I see is that homebridge can conflict with SCALE's mDNS service as seen in this linked post.

There's an actual helm chart published here.

A good comparison with other operators here [2022]: https://blog.palark.com/cloudnativepg-and-other-kubernetes-o...

Personally I've only used Kubegres (https://www.kubegres.io/), which didn't even make the above list. It's ok for a personal project.

All k8s solutions for postgres take subtly different approaches. It seems that they've all converged on the Operator pattern. The basics are easy: run a database process which persists data to a cloud disk of your choice. The hard parts are how to update, migrate, backup, restore, monitor, failover, replicate, etc. These kubernetes "operators" promise to fulfill the role of a DBA but, just like hiring a DBA, it requires buy-in to their approach.

I like https://www.kubegres.io, it takes a little getting used to how it works. I probably wouldn't use it for a huge database, but for things under a few TB it works great.

I don't know if you're using Kubernetes, but Kubegres is great for self hosting postgres on a cluster.

Any experience with https://www.kubegres.io/ ?

How does this compare with something like kubegres?

https://www.kubegres.io/

https://www.kubegres.io/ has worked well for me. You can use custom images, provided they follow the conventions of the official postgres image. I haven't tried a major-version upgrade yet - my impression is that it will probably be a bit painful and involve some downtime and manual ops.

Some of the more advanced operators might better handle the upgrade problem? But in general, I've been happy with Kubegres for a ~10GB database with low traffic.

There are some great operators out there that make deployment and management easy. I use kubegres managed with pgadmin and it has been working well for me.
