First of all, I'm often looking for a better "Heroku-esque" experience on my own metal, so thank you! This looks neat!
Also, your docs on how K8s works look really good, and might be the most approachable docs I've seen on the subject. https://canine.gitbook.io/canine.sh/technical-details/kubern...
Question: I assumed when I read the pitch, that I could spin up a managed K8s somewhere, like in Digital Ocean, and use this somehow. But after reading docs and comments, it sounds like this needs to manage my K8s for me? I guess my question is: 1) When I spin up a "Cluster" on Hetzner, is that just dividing up a single machine, or is it a true K8s cluster that spans across multiple machines? 2) If I run this install script on another server, does it join the cluster, giving me true distributed servers to host the pods? 3) Is there a way to take an existing managed K8s and have Canine deploy to it?
Yeah so at the moment it kind of supports two options: 1. A single Hetzner VPS 2. An existing Kubernetes cluster.
I usually use #1 for staging / development apps, and then #2 for production apps. For #2, I manage the number of nodes on the Digital Ocean side, and kubernetes just magically reschedules my workload accordingly (also can turn on auto scaling).
I think the thing that you're getting at that is not supported is having Canine create a multi-node cluster directly within Hetzner.
There is a terraform to create a Kubernetes cluster from hetzner, but this isn't currently installed on Canine.
I'm not closed to trying it out, there were a few UI improvements I wanted to take a shot at first, but at the moment Canine assume's you have a cluster ready to go, or can help you walk through a K3s installation to a single VPS.
