I'll second you. I full time admin our K8s infrastructure and clusters. It's a great solution for our production workloads and I've bootstrapped RancherOS/k3s a handful of times to look at using it at home but K8s is purpose built for cloud. I can get all the same benefits with significantly reduced complexity with Docker + Systemd at home.

what are some usecases where you need systemd alongside docker containers?

[elbear]

systemd can restart your container if it crashes. It can also start it if you reboot your system.

[MuffinFlavored]

can you set a restart policy with just Docker?

[elbear]

I don't know. But if you can, that still leaves you the second use case: starting your container on reboot.

Can you have Docker do that too?
