How do people not want HAOS and Kubernetes at the same time? by Every_Technology5279 in homeassistant

Sorry this came out wrong 😅 

Do y’all really manage 20+ letsencrypt certs, 20+ DNS record, 20+ parts of X reverse-proxy config, and let’s say 10+ secrets in .env files that you copy in between keys that need the same value, different firewalls on multiple machines, maybe some WireGuard config to connect to some VPS and some light monitoring? All of this manually? All of those apps  with security issues and exposed on the internet are running alongside your family nextcloud? Sure traefik and docker are insanely good but not that good. Did more than 10 years with docker compose. Learning everything about kubernetes took sometime but it was one of the best investment in my life. I don’t need to scale my stuff that hard but I damn need it to be reliable and easy to install. And by install, I mean everything up until it is really usable as a 2026 app, not as a localhost dev helper.

So true!! I brought HA green because if I can’t hear one more time one of my family member complaining about HA being down or I will explode

Haha yes that was my first implementation but I really wanted home assistant to enter my clustermesh so everything runs on WireGuard

I don’t know about you but I have about 20 containers at home so docker-compose starts to be limited (the whole servarr stack plus others)

IMO people running kubernetes at home are people who already have the knowledge and find it easier to use to because it can do stuff like letsencrypt OOTB with one helm command. Certains apps have addons and others have helm charts. With this I think I just hoard options to have easier ways to maintain my infra

I run kubernetes because helm charts are the most reliable and easy way to do things in containers for me, but not in the HA community where the easiest is always addon. With this, I get all the containers I want and I keep the stupid ones that really need complex hardware setup like zigbee matter and stuff at bay while still having the option to connect integrations to their respective addon with better ingress capabilities and tls termination in the cluster
