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.

Self hosted kubernetes
Hey guys, I want to share a guide I’m pretty proud of which is talking about setting up kubernetes which leverages https://kubespray.io/#/ and https://metallb.universe.tf/ so you can host this yourself most people when spinning up kubernetes opt for k3s or get stuck with all the options or unable to setup the external ips for their services so these tools will eliminate the problem.

How to load balance highly available bare metal Kubernetes cluster control plane nodes?
Have a closer look at MetallLB.

Trouble with RKE2 HA Setup: Part 2
To avoid that, you can use a combination of haproxy and keepalived, an enterprise grade load balancer like the one from F5 or Citrix. Besides that you can also work with https://kube-vip.io or https://metallb.universe.tf.

Kubernetes and feeling defeated
Not sure if klipper is usable in a cluster with multiple nodes, as it binds to one port only. You may want to use MetalLB instead: https://metallb.universe.tf/

Cool stuff to deploy for a project ideas
Then deploy MetalLB https://metallb.universe.tf/

Own kubernetes cluster
What issue do you see with the load balancer? For self hosted clusters, one can use MetalLB for example to have such single outfacing IP which will failover to another node keeping the same IP if a node dies.

PaperLB: A Kubernetes Network Load Balancer Implementation
Quoting from their docs:

libvirt-k8s-provisioner - Ansible and terraform to build a cluster from scratch in less than 10 minutes ok KVM - Updated for 1.26
metalLB to manage bare-metal LoadBalancer services - WIP - Only L2 configuration can be set-up via playbook.

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.

Theres kube-plex, which does this https://github.com/munnerz/kube-plex
