Without supported loadbalancer Kubernetes is no fun / not doable in my opinion.

For Hetzner for example, there are some recipes to be found to use an LB and also volumes.

I’ve stepped back to docker compose with a traefik proxy which takes labels from the containers to decide where to route what.

Highly recommended!
