k3sup VS Splitaha

• Simplicity
  k3sup simplifies the process of setting up a lightweight Kubernetes cluster by providing an easy-to-use CLI tool, reducing the manual effort involved.
• Speed
  It significantly speeds up the installation of k3s by automating many of the steps, allowing users to get a cluster up and running quickly.
• Portability
  k3sup is compatible with various environments, including Raspberry Pi, virtual machines, and cloud services, offering flexibility in deployment.
• No Overhead
  Since k3sup installs k3s without any additional overhead, it maintains the lightweight nature of the k3s distribution.
• Open Source
  Being open source, k3sup allows developers to contribute to its development and adapt the source code to suit their specific needs.

Possible disadvantages

• Limited to k3s
  k3sup is specifically designed for k3s and may not be suitable for users who need to work with larger Kubernetes distributions or have specific deployment requirements not covered by k3s.
• Basic Features
  While k3sup simplifies setup, it might lack some of the advanced features that more robust, full-featured Kubernetes management tools provide.
• Community Support
  As a smaller, community-driven project, k3sup may not offer the same level of support and resources as more established Kubernetes tools.
• Limited Automation
  Although k3sup automates the installation of k3s, further configuration and management of the cluster after setup may require additional scripting or manual intervention.
• Dependency on SSH
  k3sup relies on SSH for remote connections, which means it requires proper SSH setup and permissions, potentially complicating configurations for some users.

• Likely focused on expense splitting
  Based on the name, Splitaha appears to be a bill or expense-splitting tool. I could not access or verify the site, so confirm this on splitaha.com. If it is, a tool built for one purpose is usually simpler than a general finance app.
• Potential convenience for group costs
  Expense-splitting apps generally replace manual spreadsheets and chat arithmetic for trips, roommates and shared meals. Check whether Splitaha offers features such as automatic balance calculation or simplified debts.
• Possible low barrier to entry
  Many apps in this category have free tiers or need no complicated setup. I have not verified Splitaha's pricing or onboarding, so check them directly.

Possible disadvantages

• Unverified information
  I could not browse the site or find reliable details about Splitaha, so any feature claims here are assumptions. Check the site itself before relying on them.
• Limited track record or reviews
  I found no established user reviews, so I cannot confirm its reliability, popularity or support quality. Look for independent reviews and app store ratings.
• Unknown data privacy and security
  Apps that handle shared financial details should state clearly how they store and protect data. Review Splitaha's privacy policy and security practices before entering sensitive information.
• Unknown payment and integration support
  It is unclear whether Splitaha supports settling up through payment services, multiple currencies or exports. Established competitors such as Splitwise offer some of these, so compare features before committing.

• How do you archive your side hobby projects?

  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... Source: over 3 years ago

• What do you use as a kubernetes base?

  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: over 3 years ago

• What's a cheap way to setup your own Kubernetes cluster locally or remote?

  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: over 3 years ago
