Has anyone set up Proxmox with Kubernetes locally?

I'm curious if anyone has experience with deploying Kubernetes on Proxmox for local use. What's the typical process for this? I'm looking to host web applications that are accessible only on our on-site server, and I want to know if this is a common approach.

Do you really need Kubernetes for this? Depending on your specific use case, a straightforward Docker Compose setup might be a better fit.

I've been using Kubernetes for a while, even though I'm not a Proxmox user. I recommend checking out tools like Devspace or Skaffold to simplify your local Kubernetes development. Kubernetes is mainly about scale and might feel heavy for local apps, but these tools can help you manage it better.

Absolutely, that's how I manage both my home and work networks! You can actually extend a Proxmox Ceph deployment to work with Kubernetes too, which gives you some great flexibility.
