Followup on this: Looking into Garage first. Very simplified access model, which is not necessarily a bad thing. Seems to work fine with #CloudNativePG (#CNPG). Can create buckets and keys through the API.
Considering putting the time to try write an operator for #Kubernetes that can request buckets from various providers, inspired by StorageClasses and PVCs. Throw a bucket claim manifest in your name space, and receive a secret with credentials for it. Apply to CNPG or Mastodon or whatnot, and Bob's your uncle. Easily request from different providers, either local or remote. I'm thinking MinIO, Garage and perhaps RustFS too. Multi tenancy safe too, somehow.
I really wish someone would step up and build a cloudnative-pg -like tooling for mongodb
it's such a pain to work and maintain a self-hosted when you don't want to pay for the hosted version

Join our upcoming free webinar to learn about the key open source technologies you can use in your stack for a streamlined developer experience.
Our senior director of engineering Matthew Mols and our solutions engineer Paul Rothrock will discuss "Taking #PostgreSQL on #Kubernetes to new heights with Spock, pgEdge Helm, & #CloudNativePG", both how it works & demo'ing it live.
📌 Register to attend this 4/14 @ 11AM EST: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_G1FtqK8fSe-DF3asizQ0xw

High-risk operations don't need to be chaotic. Our open-source solutions for running PostgreSQL on Kubernetes are designed to minimize disruptions and turn complex database administration into straightforward development workflows. Join Matthew Mols (Senior Director of Engineering) and Paul Rothrock (Solutions Engineer) in a live discussion of the PostgreSQL-licensed pgEdge components that help you deploy and manage new or existing Postgres database clusters at any scale - including in multi-region or multi-cloud deployments - with less risk and more predictability. Specifically, you’ll leave the webinar understanding: - How to set up & start a Postgres cluster as a single node - and how to scale it across regions. - How the different components (Spock, pgEdge Helm, and CloudNativePG) work together to provide a seamless developer experience. - Plus, we’ll walk through a live demo so you can see exactly how it works, and wrap up with a live Q&A. - And so much more! No vendor lock-in, and the option of enterprise support from a team with decades of dedicated PostgreSQL experience if you want it. Register now to secure your spot!
I have services in my #homelab that need #postgres quite often. In my #k3s cluster I'm using #cloudnativepg to provision single-use databases for services. What should I do for my services running in #docker? Create a single VM that just runs Postgres and connect them all to it? Provision a single Postgres in k3s and expose it so that docker containers externally can use it?
Move anything that needs postgres to #kubernetes?
#selfhosting can get complicated 😔
