The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Run a single Plex server across multiple physical servers?
Example: https://github.com/munnerz/kube-plex

Secondary Plex Server
There are some projects to distribute transcoding jobs like the Unicorn Transcoder (last activity in 2021), Remote Transcoder (last activity in 2017) or the Kubernetes project (last activity in 2020)
- Multiple Servers to spread out processing power, looks like a single server to the user... Possible?
- Any Multi-Media (e.g. Plex) Which Works With Load Balancer (Multiple-Server)

Plex on Kubernetes with hardware decoding... Victory
not OP, but I have some experience with Kubernetes, plex is the last service that I haven't yet migrated to my K3s cluster. Generally speaking, Kubernetes doesn't mean HA, it does mean that if a node goes down, plex will ideally spin on on another (assuming everything is correctly configured) but an application needs to be designed specifically to be deployed in a HA way in order to scale horizontally like you are suggesting. You can see in the picture that only 1 Pod (a unit that holds a container) is actually running. There is/was a project to separate our transcode jobs into their own pods to allow for horizontal scaling of transcode jobs, but it looks like it hasn't been updated in years, sounds a bit hacky and I haven't had the confidence to try it just yet.

Serious: What is the use case for this as home user?
There is a project out there for Plex in Kubernetes btw!

32 Node KBN-I/5200 Kubernetes cluster running Debian 10/K8s 1.17/Intel Core i7/8GB RAM each. Used the standoffs and mounted each 8 stack to empty trays. Disks are 64GB USB3 sticks.
I've been there and it's not officially supported by Plex or even Jellyfin or Emby. There's kube-plex which is not maintained anymore, probably the most success you could have is with unicorn transcoder however it forces you to stay pinned to a Plex version until the maintainers push an update.

Raspberry Pi POE cluster
Theres kube-plex, which does this https://github.com/munnerz/kube-plex

Btw it looks like kube-plex (with pod transcoding) isn't dead yet https://github.com/munnerz/kube-plex/pull/97#issuecomment-620610658

Why OpenEBS 3.0 for Kubernetes and Storage?
OpenEBS CStor (declared stable), has added support for a CSI Driver and also improved customer resources and operators for managing the lifecycle of CStor Pools. This 3.0 version of the CStor includes:

It's a little complicated at first but there's also OpenEBS and Longhorn. Longhorn is probably the most easiest to get going with, but I chose rook-ceph because it's very stable.

Looking for a sanity check on a project I'm working on at home, hoping you fine people can help - Raspberry Pi Kubernetes Cluster
- SMB CSI: https://github.com/kubernetes-csi/csi-driver-smb - OpenEBS if you got the hardware for it: https://openebs.io/

Best Open-Source Distributed Parallel Storage Option for an AI/ML Cluster?
Tried OpenEBS? These two have replication HA features. https://github.com/openebs/Mayastor https://github.com/openebs/cstor-operators
What are some alternatives?
When comparing kube-plex and cstor-operators you can also consider the following projects:
UnicornTranscoder - Remote transcoder for Plex
Mayastor - Dynamically provision Stateful Persistent Replicated Cluster-wide Fabric Volumes & Filesystems for Kubernetes that is provisioned from an optimized NVME SPDK backend data storage stack.
home-cluster - My home server cluster, managed by flux and defined as code here
jiva-operator - Kubernetes Operator for managing Jiva Volumes via custom resource.
charts - ⚠️ Deprecated : Helm charts for applications you run at home
openebs - Most popular & widely deployed Open Source Container Native Storage platform for Stateful Persistent Applications on Kubernetes.
metallb - A network load-balancer implementation for Kubernetes using standard routing protocols
longhorn - Cloud-Native distributed storage built on and for Kubernetes
zfs-localpv - Dynamically provision Stateful Persistent Node-Local Volumes & Filesystems for Kubernetes that is integrated with a backend ZFS data storage stack.
home-ops - Wife approved HomeOps driven by Kubernetes and GitOps using Flux
dynamic-nfs-provisioner - Operator for dynamically provisioning an NFS server on any Kubernetes Persistent Volume. Also creates an NFS volume on the dynamically provisioned server for enabling Kubernetes RWX volumes.
