Potential upgrade (lemm.ee)

Hello!

I attempted self hosting a while ago, but it wasn't a very smooth experience because I had no wifi, no ssd, no room and no time. I want to get back into it, and I was wondering if I would want to build a new pc. I think it's a hp compaq 6200 pro Here are the specs: I3 2100 3x4gb ram 250gb +8tb hdd

I would be selfhosting alot of projects, and will try alot of new things constantly, but I definitely want: Jellyfin Immich Password manager Pi-Hole Minecraft server(modded) Qbittorrent

And I'd possibly want: File server(Nextcloud is cool, but it's a bit too complicated for me) Gitea Code-server Llm Url shortener

Computers here are quite cheap, and I could find an old office desktop with 10th gen intel for about 100€ with relative ease. I could also build it myself, with an old office cpu and motherboard, but that would cost more. What do y'all advise? Can this all be done on a budget setup, excluding the llm? Is upgradeability a problem in office computers?

Thanks in advance!

Why swarm and not not k3s?

[–] jeffreyosborne@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What are the practical differences between swarms and k3s?

[–] eutampieri@feddit.it 1 points 1 year ago

The control plane, I guess…

[–] skankhunt42@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I've never actually used swarm so I could be wrong. However, I was under the impression that Docker swarm is a lot easier to use with a lot more examples for people to deploy their Containers.

With K8s/K3s I find myself translating a lot of docker examples into deployment yamls with Services, Network Policies, PVCs, secrets, etc, etc. It's just a lot more lines in the .yml files. This also assumes you know that anything that you run in docker you can run in K8s with 1 replica and more is not ideal.

Ok, k8s is harder but I feel that applying configuration remotely is more robust. I haven’t used swarm though.
