truecharts VS charts

I don't think there is an "alternative GUI" but there is community app catalog that integrates into the standard GUI called TrueCharts

Nextcloud - Our Nextcloud chart has been nearly completely reworked, it's incredibly fast and users will notice the difference. The goal of this rework has been to improve the speed and stability. It’s getting the chart as close to feature parity as Nextcloud AIO as possible, includes the hpb and imaginary containers. Remember this may be a breaking change based on your install.

WG-Easy - The easiest way to run WireGuard VPN + Web-based Admin UI.

It's known about - https://github.com/truecharts/apps/issues/2984 And there's a fix - https://github.com/truecharts/containers/pull/3506

You can also use "true charts" https://truecharts.org/

First Thing i would do is add truecharts https://truecharts.org/ It's a Community catalogue of prebuild Apps, Go through their quick Start guides. They also have a YouTube Channel with Video Guides on how to setup qbittorrent and vpn for Container https://youtube.com/c/TrueCharts

Heres the link to there org

truecharts catalog is a list of compiled docker/kubernete apps specifically compiled for the OS... You can find more info here

Here's a link to some info on their out-of-the-box support for cloud-sync'd storage. Their "container station" equivalent would be their app store. They have a model of 1)"tiny collection of core essentials" plus support for 2)arbitrary user-configured containers and 3)3rd party app store catalogs full of the broad universe of various 3rd party containers.

Spinning up workloads in kubernetes is much different than just spinning up a container in docker or even with docker compose. If someone has not already packaged it in a helm chart or some other kubernetes workload you'll have to develop one yourself. There are some nice library charts you can use as a base that should handle just about any random docker image you want to deploy. https://github.com/bjw-s/helm-charts/tree/main/charts/library/common there is also a repo of pre developed charts for common images. https://github.com/k8s-at-home/charts but be aware it was recently deprecated so it won't be receiving any updates.

Take a look at https://github.com/k8s-at-home/charts (recently deprecated but still a fantastic resource) - there are charts for the popular Arrs , tools, etc. You could deploy each chart individually into a namespace, or you could create yourself an "umbrella" chart which pulls in all the necessary charts as dependencies.

Library charts. A very thorough example can be seen here and usages of it here.

Could it be related to this? https://github.com/k8s-at-home/charts/pull/1435/files

I'd submitted a helm chart at https://github.com/k8s-at-home/charts/tree/master/charts/stable/firefly-iii if you want to try out

I know /u/stefantigro means well but the way you are both doing the helm charts is not ideal, helm charts are meant to be shared, not as a means to install apps into your cluster from a local folder. While they can be, it's not a good pattern. Take the helm chart from here for example. This is a published helm chart you can install using the commands in the Readme and you only need to provide the configuration for your instance from the values.yaml file. You can take a look at the values I use for this helm chart here. You can also see I'm using an custom Sonarr image, this image is tailored to running in Kubernetes

There is a working Helm chart for k8s-at-home that should be a good starting point. The biggest hurdle I see is that homebridge can conflict with SCALE's mDNS service as seen in this linked post.

There's an actual helm chart published here.
