I spun k3s up with a config that I used an LLM to write. It's been almost 2 years. Thing just works for the most part. Even useful on a single node.

Yep, I've got a couple of single node k3s clusters and it just works. It can be a useful way to transition from applications running on their own dedicated servers to running on a true k8s cluster.

What it gets you is a more powerful Docker Compose running on server that you can interact with via kubectl. No SSH, no custom scripts etc. Just kubectl and YAML.
