Only one instance?

[rogierlommers]

Hey, thanks for your tutorial!
One question though: I'm running just one home server. Currently I'm deploying my stuff though docker run commands. But for the sake of learning, I'm considering running kubernetes and deploy my containers through that.

Would it work? So does it work to have just one node in a kubernetes cluster?

You are welcome it's a pleasure to help !

So for your question, yes indeed you can have a single node kube cluster it's just one node only but works fine nothing particular will happen, just know that this means your machine will run everything itself, kubernetes + the different apps you will use. With K3 however the footprint is so small that you can run it almost on any PC as it doesn't require a super powerful computer.

So yeah go ahead ! Also I am planning to add this weekend (if I have time) a new part to the tutorial which is how to setup a single sign on to protect all your services easily !

Cheers !
