K3S newbie question: How do I force a running Pod or Deployment to pick up a new Image?
Pipe your manifest through https://github.com/vmware-tanzu/carvel-kbld before deploying. It will resolve the image tags to digests.

How do you update your repos for ArgoCD?
you can also use a tool such as kbld which is capable of taking yaml that has a floating tag or specifier, building your image, pushing it to a registry, and then emitting the same yaml but with the floating tag locked down into a SHA.

(question) Getting Kubernetes to update deployment & understanding imagePullPolicy: Always
We use https://github.com/vmware-tanzu/carvel-kbld do workaround this issue. You can just pass your deployment.yaml to kbld and it will rewrite all image tags to their corresponding resolved digests. You can than pipe the result to kubectl apply or your deployment tool of choice (we use Kapp from the same developers as kbld).

How do you manage your updates?
From purely a container standpoint, for my home Kubernetes cluster, I use ArgoCD for deployment and wrote a little plugin to pipe the final manifests (generated through helm, kustomize, static files, whatever) through kbld. kbld replaces the image tag with the digest sha, which means ArgoCD sees it as a change to the manifest, and with auto-sync turned on deploys the latest image automatically. I've had my Argo applications configured this way for over a year with basically no issues.

Nix: Taming Unix with Functional Programming
Deploy-rs is a great alternative. It works as wrapper on top of flakes, local (optionally, cross-) building and copying closures to target machine with activation:

How do you manage your updates?
The SSH key I made for this uses yubikey authentication, and every time this opens a SSH connection it will ask for the key. There's some options you can add so multiple SSH sessions can use a single connection, but the current version isn't really working well with them (see e.g. https://github.com/serokell/deploy-rs/issues/106)

What's a good service for hosting a personal NixOS server?
I haven't really been in the market for something like this in a long while, but NixOS solved a lot of my headaches when it comes to maintaining a VPS and I'd like to try giving this a shot again. I'm not really interested in cloud/microservice/docker/cluser/whatever, I just want to use something like deploy-rs with a single host and maybe a VPN service like tailscale. What sorts of providers would y'all recommend?

Best practices for organizing code repository for multiple machines? What about deployment?
I've messed around with deploy.rs. Simple enough to know what's going on.

The best solution for deploying flakes
There are 4 tools I'm taking into consideration right now, but every suggestion is welcome: 1. deploy-rs - I don't know anything about it, heard about it like a day or two ago 2. NixOps - the official one, I don't know what to think, but I have concerns about Flakes compatibility 3. morph - I understand this as "NixOps, but better", no more toughs. 4. colmena - seems to be pretty straightforward with quite nice docs
