I've seen that around, but I prefer to run my own services instead of relying on a ready-built system like that. I find they don't offer that much customization options usually.

I think both of the ones I mentioned have docker-compose files, which I think I can convert with kompose convert? I guess from there I would follow your steps and then start parameterizing it once it's running properly.
Thanks! I think I'll start trying out PixelFed tomorrow.
That's actually super helpful! I haven't done much custom Helm chart-ing, and was kinda lost where to start. That really helps break the process down, and the tip about skipping state to start is very wise.
Yeah, that's the pain point - building and maintaining the charts.
Also, I know the charts likely wouldn't have to be super complex, but I'm used to working with Bitnami's charts that are massively complex - I just don't have the time to go that in-depth.
Oh, I know I could get them to run with enough work. I just don't have that much time to spend on initial implementation and upkeep of the charts.
I'm using FluxCD, which I believe can do deployments of plain Kubernetes manifests, but that still requires a decent amount of overhead to keep up to date.
I can't do latte art, I call mine "the blob" or "polarbear in a snowstorm" lol
Ahh, I didn't get that far in the docs, but seeing as there are no (that I can tell) post limits, running a blog on Lemmy would work pretty well with a bit of a UI change.
Yeah, I used to host a Matrix instance - could do that for this one too.
The issue is more about setting up the Kubernetes manifests and templating them. I usually use the chart's built-in postgres and redis config, though using an operator would make it more scalable for sure.
I'm using Authentik for auth, but I do also like Keycloak.
