This was also my question/frustration. Kubernetes is not so easy to learn, especially if your focus is on other programming projects and you just want a easy and scalable personal server setup. I've created a tool called 'Swarmlet' over the past few weeks, which tries to mimic Dokku, so it combines git and Docker Swarm mode for easy app deployments. With some services included like Traefik for routing and automatic SSL using Let's Encrypt, with Consul as a distributed secrets store. https://github.com/swarmlet/swarmlet https://github.com/swarmlet/swarmlet Definitely not production-ready, and quite some things to do, but it's a nice POC which actually works for me.
