I created skate (https://github.com/skateco/skate) to be basically this but multihost and support k8s manifests. Under the hood it’s podman and systemd
This is a great approach which resonates with me a lot. It's really frustrating that there is no simple way to run a multi-host Docker/Podman (Docker Swarm is abandonware since 2019 unfortunately).
However, in my opinion K8s has the worst API and UX possible. I find Docker Compose spec much more user friendly. So I'm experimenting with a multi-host docker-compose at the moment: https://github.com/psviderski/uncloud
Wouldn’t argue with you abut the k8s ux. Since it has all the ground concepts ( service, cronjob etc ) it required less effort than rolling yet another syntax.
Thanks! I'm more than happy to catch up to discuss the challenges. Feel free to reach out to me on twitter @psviderski or email 'me at psviderski.name'
