  • A lot of people thought this was the case for VMs and docker as well, and now it seems to be the norm.

    Yes, but docker does provide features that are useful at the level of a hobbyist self-hosting a few services for personal use (e.g. reproducibility). I like using docker and ansible to set up my systems, as I can painlessly reproduce everything or migrate to a different VPS in a few minutes.

    But kubernetes seems overkill. None of my services have enough traffic to justify replicas, I’m the only user.

    Besides learning (which is a valid reason), I don’t see why one would bother setting it up at home. Unless there’s a very specific use-case I’m missing.
