The overhead of Kubernetes's runtime (Go) is nonzero. It's meant to run on Xenons which is going too far for a home server. You have the slow Go GC then you add on top of it a bunch of PHP and Ruby apps like Nextcloud, sprinkle a bit of unnecessary virtualization, and you've got a really slow machine that burns through more money on your electric bill than an equivalent EC2 would cost. Since everything I use at home is Linux, they're all "servers" already. They're all on a Wireguard network and share NFS mounts that I can access anywhere. No PHP, No Letsencrypt certificates, No Docker, No Kubernetes, No wasting electricity, No fiddling, No "git commiting every edit". My setup works just as well in a house with a static IP from an ISP as it could in a van with an antenna receiving 4G data.
