[hosh]

I set up and deploy infra at my company, and I do it with Kubernetes.

I like the self-healing aspects of Kubernetes, but even something like k0s has a large, 1GB footprint that I don't want to have for my self-hosted personal projects.

Using podman and quadlet looks like it solves exactly what I want -- just enough kubernetes on a very small footprint.

This is not a replacement for docker-compose. I've never found a good use for that in infra because it lacks self-healing, so it stayed in the dev stack. If I was more proficient with Nix, I'd probably use that instead of docker-compose.
