Why did this only occur to me recently? You can selfhost a k8s cluster and expose the services using a $5 digital ocean droplet. The droplet and k8s services are point-to-point connected using tailscale. Performance is perfectly fine, keeps your skillset sharp, and you’re self-hosting!
You can also just directly connect to containers using Tailscale if it's just for internal use. That is, having an internally addressable `https://container_name` on your tailnet per-container if you want. This way I can setup Immich for example and it's just on my tailnet at `https://immich` without the need for a reverse proxy, etc...
