I need a:

  1. CMS (with webhooks)
  2. Something that easily lets me deploy stuff (as in either a git triggered deployment or just uploading a zip file)
  3. and an easy-to-use static file hosting server that supports dynamic uploads since I need to do Incremental static regeneration (I have played around with caddy and cepth a bit)

Edit: if anyone is still willing to help I'd be really helpful. I'm not a veteran of self-hosting

Are you asking how to deploy apps on kubernetes or how to connect those with kubernetes?

I'm asking if there are Kubernetes native solutions for those?

For cms you can use whatever you want, its just a container to k8s. I know there's a few headless cms options here https://jamstack.org/headless-cms/ but as thoughtworks mention theres more than 1000 cms' to choose from.

For updating via git I'm using flux but I know argo is very popular too

For static hosting you can use any proxy, like nginx or caddy which you could use with for example minio which is a s3 compatible object store that you can use as backend behind the proxy to serve anything

These concepts arent really kubernetes specific, but work well with it. You might as well run these with docker compose or just natively

Hmm, not sure about the first one (only CMS I’ve worked with is WordPress and it’s not great).

For the second FluxCD/ArgoCD are pretty common tools in what’s known as GitOps, or deploying services via Git (and keeping state inline with what’s specified in Git). You can find a (not very good) example at the git repo for my instance: https://github.com/CloudHub-Social/CloudHub-Social

For the third option, do you mean like a static website platform like GitHub Pages, Ghost, etc, or something more like an S3 bucket which you upload files to and get a link back to access said file?

You can run a minio instance for object storage that is S3 compatible. Some solutions have it built-in, like TrueNAS or Ceph. I’m not sure if it’s recommended to expose to the internet though.

I am not gonna ever expose CEPH to the internet, that sounds like a recipe for disaster

I'm still looking for anwsers if anyone is wandering
