I'm not disagreeing with you that there is so much room for improvement in ease of use. But tools help. It took like an hour to tweak an existing helm chart to get it running in my personal kubernetes cluster. All the reverse proxy stuff is handled by the nginx-ingress-controller I use. external-dns set up all the DNS rules for me in Route53. kube-lego did all the LetsEncrypt ACME shenanigans. Used to try to run these all using docker on a single VM, and do some manual nginx configging to route to them. This is much easier. Took awhile to learn, but get to benefit from those efficiencies for years. https://mastodon.bengo.is/ https://mastodon.bengo.is/
