    For my personal stuff that doesn't get any traffic I cobbled together some scripts to manage containers / SSL here https://github.com/mnahkies/shoe-string-server

    I don't think I ever got around to making it self healing if a container dies, but it does support gitops style deployments through a cronjob / conf repo similar to argocd

    It's been running happily on a <$10 / month aws lightsail instance for a few years now, though tbh I'd still reach for k8s for anything serious

    Interestingly this seems like a pretty popular problem to solve.

    I made a similar thing recently as well, although with the goal to handle ingress and monitoring out the box as well, whilst still able to run comfortably on a small box.

    I took a fairly similar approach, leveraging docker-compose files, and using a single data directory for ease of backup (although it's on my to-do list to split out conf/data).

    If there was a way to get a truly slim and easy to setup k8s compatible environment I'd probably prefer that, but I couldn't find anything that wouldn't eat most of my small servers ram
