> if you have any family members relying on these services, you have to kill them all every time you reboot your workstation
replyyikes!
Yeah I can't imagine killing my family members every time I'm shutting down my computer
replyIt's better than having to hear them complain every time plex goes down
replyYou are always gonna have some downtime in a homelab setup I think. Unless you go all in with k8s I think the best you can do is "system reboots at 4AM, hopefully all the users are asleep".
reply(Probably a lot of the services I run don't even really support HA properly in a k8s system with replicas. E.g. taking global exclusive DB locks for the lifetime of their process)
I run my stuff in a local k8s cluster and you are correct, most stuff runs as replica 1. DBs actually don't because CNPG and mariadb operator make HA setups very easy.
That being said, the downtime is still lower than on a traditional server
