We have been using it for our internal dev and test environment.

I was very disappointed that it did not have tcp/udp proxy support. Fortunately the plug-in system allowed us to extend this functionality in a day.

Dokku is very nice for this use-case. No need to have a complicated kubernetes setup.

I’ll never understand why one stacks config syntax and semantics is seen as complicated while another stack of gigs and gigs of state is not.

A Linux host that pulls down a web server via its package manager is gigs of special state too. Where’s the simplicity? It’s no less complicated, maybe more familiar.

There’s way too much romantic and poetic day dreaming about what it is we do in IT.

You're right. But it is a little harder to get kubernetes up and running with a load balancer and your own domain. Obviously not for people who are already familiar with it..
