My homelab is currently on Talos, my current issue? It's around 30k LOC Yaml. Everything is working, but I would love to have something simpler at some point. There is anything that has these features:

• Reproducible
• Defined as code / configuration files. I don't mind if it has an UI, but I don't want to configure it through the UI
• Be able to run the apps on top of things like Kata or gVisor
• Control over the network. Be able to select what the application can do at the network
• I don't care about cluster. I'll always be running in a single node

Sorry folks, I said 30k files, no no, 30k LOC in Yaml files. My bad!
