alt Hacker NewsI'm very happy using docker swarm on a single host with traefik as reverse proxy using the setup described here: https://dockerswarm.rocks/
Super easy deployment of additional apps, defined completely in one file (incl setup on host, backups, reverse proxy config, etc).
Never found a reason to migrate away. Swarm was already considered dead when I started using it in 2022[1], but the investment was so low and benefits so big, that it was the right choice for me. I think a lot of people are replicating swarm features with compose, losing a lot of time. But hey, to each their own choice!

Swarm or Nomad is the way to go for simple single/multi-node setups.

Yup, this works so nice.
Using traefik or caddy as proxy.
Docker context for remote access - over Internet or vpn, whatever.
Swarm-cronjob for scheduled things.
Labels for things that need to run in particular places.
So easy.
Personally, k8s is fine, but its an abstraction for building a service architecture, not the thing an end user (developer) should ever use. If you are in a big company and you are using helm or k8s yaml files to roll things out, your infra or platform teams have missed something out.. building the platform!
