I deploy on bare metal. Docker, Kubernetes, et. al add layers of complexity that I don't need. I'm not saying that they don't have benefits at a certain scale, but for the types of single-server deployments I do, I have not been convinced.

please do #sig-onprem on kubernetes.slack.com . We are discussing a lot of stuff to make this easier.

The biggest challenge right now is the ingress/loadbalancer abstraction. Hopefully, that should get resolved over the next few months.

Been scanning the thread to find this stance, and there I go! Good to know I'm not entirely alone there =)
Yep, a few shell scripts are enough. Ansible is nice to parallelize multiple boxes, but that is about it.
this. just a simple rsync and docker-compose up can be all you need in most cases.
