I recommend learning docker first, then pick a vps host from vpsbenchmarks, then use k3sup to deploy a kubernetes cluster on that, then follow a getting-started kubernetes tutorial from there. You'll also want to buy a domain name with tld-list and then provision a TLS certificate with cert-manager and letsencrypt (skip steps 1-4 because Google Cloud is overpriced).

I just installed k3s yesterday using k3sup on 6 VMs (3 masters, 3 workers) each with 2GB RAM ( limited by the actual RAM on hardware, for now ) with Ubuntu 22.04 as the base OS. Source: about 1 year ago

k3s installed with k3sup, longhorn for storage, kube-vip for API VIP, and MetalLB for service load balancer using local subnet, and of course Rancher. Source: about 1 year ago

Yeah, this is the answer, but I would use this with K3S: https://github.com/alexellis/k3sup. Source: over 1 year ago

Like the title says, https://github.com/docker/compose-on-kubernetes is no longer maintained, with no explanation why or recommendations on what to use instead. I've briefly looked at Kompose as an alternative, but I don't like how it's a converter. I'd like the source of truth to exist inside a single, simple YAML file, like a docker-compose file.
