So this uses k3s underneath. IMO any local kubernetes distribution is a big resource hog over plain docker. Anyone have ideas for something that is less resource intensive but easier to orchestrate than docker-compose?

Podman supports just the pod spec also used by kubernetes. How much orchestration do you need on a local machine?

docker != docker compose.

docker compose is just as heavy. there's not a significant difference between k3s and docker compose.
