postgres-operator VS cluster-template

I found a couple of those Postgres operators, like the movetokube/postgres-operator but I honestly can't tell which of them are any good. Do you have any experience with them? I also would need something for MinIO, since I'm able to use Terraform to create databases, buckets and then spin up the app. It's a really comfortable process albeit I do prefer GitOps.

Not everything carries over from Terraform to GitOps but with that said check out this operator that lets you provision an existing postgres database.

On my list is the external postgres operator to provision databases on the external postgres instance, similar to using democratic-csi for providing volumes on the TrueNAS host. https://github.com/movetokube/postgres-operator

Others have mentioned some great operators for managing in-cluster postgres databases, but if you're looking to manage external or previously existing databases: https://github.com/movetokube/postgres-operator

That is my plan, too. I have the External Postgres Server Operator on my list of thing to try out. Does anyone have experience with it already?

Here is an example of an operator that creates databases: https://github.com/movetokube/postgres-operator

k8s is a lot easier for homelabs than it used to be, and imo it's quicker than nix for building a declarative homelab. templates like this one can deploy a cluster in a few hours: https://github.com/onedr0p/cluster-template

here's my home assistant deployment as a single file: https://github.com/pl4nty/homelab/blob/main/kubernetes/clust...

I deliberately nuked my onprem cluster a few weeks ago, and was fully restored within 2 hours (including host OS reinstalls). and most of that was waiting for backup restores over my slow internet connection

Magical setups like this often get a lot of bad rap, but if you already understand Ansible and know Linux etc, you might find this repo a good start to building out your own cluster using gitops: https://github.com/onedr0p/flux-cluster-template

more of an end-to-end solution than a build-it-yourself, but this was a huge help in my understanding of k8s and the other tech like gitops - https://github.com/onedr0p/flux-cluster-template

idk how it'd scale for a larger operation, but flux+sops+age has worked great for me. based on https://github.com/onedr0p/flux-cluster-template

Here is a really good and VERY thorough example of pulling that all together: https://github.com/onedr0p/flux-cluster-template
