So, i got my home lab up and running just fine with the usual suspect apps on Docker:
- Radarr
- Sonarr
- Bazarr
- QBittorrent
- NZBGet
- Jacket
- Tautulli
- Overseerr
- SearxNG
- PiHole
- Bitwarden
- etc.
Now i have deployed an Kubernetes cluster. I’m already running Portainer, Rancher and Traefik on this cluster (MetalLB and Cert-Manager as well).
I want to move most if not all my Docker containers to Kubernetes. I know there is many ways of doing that, but using helm will be the easiest way.
Is any of you doing that? Using Kubernetes for your containers? How are you deploying the containers?
I think that using docker-compose much easier than Kubernetes even with helm and if it (kubernetes) was not de defacto standard for conainer orchestration on the enterprise world (i’m IT professional and learning Kubernetes is kinda a necessity), i would prefeer to use docker-compose with docker-swarm-mode.

ArgoCD. If there’s something that doesn’t come with a Helm chart, i just wrap it into bjw-s’ common chart (https://github.com/bjw-s/helm-charts/tree/main/charts) and call it a day.
I’ve just moved my docker stuff over to kubernetes so I’m probably a little further along than you are.
I’ve been creating deployments from scratch - they’re really not much more complicated than docker-compose configs. Once I cracked translating the first docker-compose.yml to its k8s equivalent it was reasonably easy to do the rest. There’s a learning curve but it’s not too steep (yet).
I haven’t looked at Helm much yet - it seems to be more powerful than I need at the moment.
