The video example is a little confusing from a "I just want to self host the whole thing on a single machine/VM etc" perspective. If that's what I want to do, do I still have to create a cluster by putting in some managed DO K8s reference? Eg I just want it to use the local VM for the cluster. Do you have some other videos or can you make some that show say how to install it all-in-one on a single machine, and then from there how to add/deploy an app?

Yeah, so the setup I have there is basically: for staging / non prod apps, I typically just boot a single Hetzner VPS, and then install a K8 compliant server, then I'm off to the races.

Production, I usually use digital ocean, so then I get a managed kubernetes, but also a managed postgres within the same data center for latency needs. Let's me sleep easier at night :)

    Gotcha, I just think a big part of your audience will want to one-box it for personal hobbyist apps and projects. Do you have documentation for your staging approach?
