Docker, Kubernetes, Compose, and Bake (edge and homelab)¶
Narrative: These imports cluster multi-container workflows and cluster choices relevant to self-hosted and edge environments. Docker Compose material ranges from “in depth” explainers to long multi-service guides and a very deep single-topic compose dive. Docker Bake sources cover buildx bake patterns for bundling and shipping compose-oriented projects. Kubernetes coverage contrasts kubeadm, k3s, MicroK8s, Minikube, Talos, and RKE2, then narrows to K3s vs RKE2 selection, when to use each, and short either/or framing—useful when a homelab or farm-edge gateway moves past single-host Compose.
