On: Dokku: My favorite personal serverless platform

Is there any advantage of Dokku over using Kubernetes (I already have a person single-node cluster).

I initially setup Dokku on K8s, but since it would just deploy to that same server it makes more sense IMO to just use K8s

If you've already got k8s set up and you're comfortable with it, I'm not sure that Dokku offers much?

But... wow. For my single non-k8s server at home, Dokku makes getting stuff running behind HTTPS about as simple as I could hope for!

Some took my comment to mean "why would anyone use Dokku"?

This project looks great, and is obviously far less complex than Kubernetes. I was asking for advice about my particular situation. I wasn't saying that someone should choose Kubernetes over Dokku.

Though, I do see many advantages of Kubernetes for a homelab environment, mainly that you get experience using K8s which can transfer to a professional context.

It’s like two orders of magnitude easier to setup and use.

I mean "not having to learn Kubernetes" is surely a factor?
