I had a similar experience when I tried to use kubernetes in my home lab. Crashed it twice and since the technology and tools evolve so fast almost all tutorials I found were already so out of date that the commands didn't work and some tools were already deprecated.
I moved to docker swarm and love it. It's so much easier, straight forward, automatic ingress network and failover were all working out of the box.

I'll stay with swarm for now
