Is Kubernetes Good for a Homelab?

The question of whether Kubernetes is suitable for a homelab setup has been circulating for a while, and it’s one that recently caught my attention after watching Raid Owl’s video on Docker Swarm. In the video, he highlights Kubernetes’ complexity and suggests it might be overkill for most homelab enthusiasts. As someone who’s been working with Kubernetes clusters for over a decade, I found this perspective interesting—and it prompted me to reflect on whether Kubernetes really is too complex for home use.
