  • kube-plex

    Scalable Plex Media Server on Kubernetes -- dispatch transcode jobs as pods on your cluster!

  • 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.

  • cluster-template

    A template for deploying a Kubernetes cluster with k3s or Talos

  • Unfortunately, most common software we host just isn't designed to take full advantage of kubernetes, for that to change there needs to be more of a focus by the developers and contributors to move in this direction.If you are interested in getting started with a cluster, I cant recommend this project enough. Setting up using ansible and controlling all of the configuration using git makes things really simple.

NOTE: The number of mentions on this list indicates mentions on common posts plus user suggested alternatives. Hence, a higher number means a more popular project.
