Best usage of motherboard - eviltoast

Hello selfhosted !

I had a thought I’d like to share with you.

I currently have a motherboard that was used to game and that i would like to reuse.

I thought of 2 ways to use it:

  • as a NAS
  • as a Steam stream server (i have a graphic card around too)

I also have other computers running Kubernetes (2 nodes)

My question is should i go Kubernetes for this on too, or on another path ?

Thanks

    Agreed, for me containers are really nice for playing with new software without dirtying my host install.

      Definitely. Just the headache alone of python 3.x here and php version x there and oh boy hope they don’t clash is so annoying.

      For a simple webhost it makes sense to install bare metal if it doesnt have to scale anyway.
      If I need 2 different db versions on the same host for different application stacks it is so easy to just insert a new program.
