If you prefer to use Kubernetes, you can find more information about K8s options for Redpanda here. For Linux, kind and minikube are the simplest ways to get running with Redpanda.

You can use kind (https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kind) to run local kubernetes clusters and combine it with yaml manifests, helm charts, kustomize or carvel packages. Depending on your workflow and tooling.

I was using docker, too. Then start playing around with kind. Then started to use helm charts and create ones myself. Then I've built a k3s cluster with a Jetson nano as a master and 3x RPi 4 w/ 8GB RAM. Still using Kind on my workstation to test things.

If you ask me how to create a local Kubernetes cluster, I'll tell you Kind, minikube, and Kubeadm are all good choices. If you ask me which tool is the most recommended for beginners, my answer must be minikube or Kind. minikube is more powerful than Kind, and Kind is easier than minikube.

Similar to RepRap, CAPI uses a Kubernetes cluster to make more Kubernetes clusters. The easiest way is with Kubernetes IN Docker (KIND). As the name implies, it’s a Kubernetes cluster which runs as a Docker container. This is our starting point for what we call “Bootstrap Cluster”.

I haven't encountered too many issues here using Docker Desktop with WSL 2, but I don't use Docker Desktop's built in Kubernetes. Instead I use https://kind.sigs.k8s.io/ which runs Kubernetes in Docker.

Download https://kind.sigs.k8s.io/ on your local machine, practice launching deployments, and create configmaps, secrets and services.

I found it while learning my way trough Kind. I really advise new comers to K8s to use Kind.

> It has no init system.

Apologies that I can't link directly to the "--init" flag but docker actually does have an init, it's just (err, was?) compiled into the binary: https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/run/#op...

My recollection is that it either adopted, or inspired, https://github.com/Yelp/dumb-init#readme which folks used to put into their Dockerfile as the init system back in the day

Folks (ahem, I'm looking at you, eks-anywhere[0]) who bundle systemd into a docker container are gravely misguided, and the ones which do so for the ability to launch sshd alongside the actual container's main process are truly, truly lost
