My friends are open to leaving Discord which has finally given me a reason to look into Element/Matrix. I found the install instructions and am immediately put off. Is this it? No official docker compose? 😞

      Out of curiosity, what makes it better?

      A quick search says it’s a package manger for kubernetes. Besides plex, everything I selfhost is just for me. Would you say helm/kubernetes is worth looking into for a hobbyist who doesn’t work in the tech field?

        Absolutely no. Kubernetes has it’s benefits and it can make sense to get into it for tinkering etc, but if you just want to set up matrix and not learn an entire new system, stay away from it.

          I need to agree here. K8s is only for the real tech savvy people. I’d you are just starting with docker avoid k8s or k3s.
