What benefit does k8s introduce in a home server? I currently have about a dozen services, but only use docker compose and a bit of shell scripting.

I'm sure you could achieve almost all the things I needed with docker compose, but I was using it at work and had designed some clean helm charts so just used them at home.

I use it when I need to deploy a service across multiple machines. For personal projects that's pretty much my biggest decider. Otherwise I'm using the same docker compose setup I've been using for a while!
