awesome-home-kubernetes VS k3s

Also check out the awesome kubernetes@home repo where many homelabbers share their configs.

Sorry I'm not familiar with this. Are you referring to this?

https://github.com/k8s-at-home/awesome-home-kubernetes https://github.com/k8s-at-home/template-cluster-k3s

To see it in action be sure to check out my repository or the many others here.

Make it usable and link to the best place with k3s in action: https://github.com/k8s-at-home/awesome-home-kubernetes

Nice but I suggest going to https://github.com/k8s-at-home/awesome-home-kubernetes and learn from the best at this topic ;)

Check out Flux V2. It syncs a git repo with your cluster, allowing you to define your infrastructure as code. It will keep your cluster synced with your repo and detect changes. A number of example repos are Here and onedr0p did a example repo here There's many options for structuring folder, I'd recommend you have a look at a few repos and pick one you like. The linked template is a good start, as it helps avoid dependency hell with a crd folder that starts before the YAML that needs the crd defined. Many people on the awesome list also run ansible for full infrastructure as code. I spent a lot of time perfecting my setup to go from blank Ubuntu VM to my cluster with a few keystrokes. Running it in git also helps you be able to use things like renovate bot to keep versions up to date. As for namespaces, everyone had their own method, but about using kube-system. Also, keep a eye out for services that refuse to have their name space changed.

For self-hosting I've found https://k3s.io to be really good from the SUSE people. Works on basically any Linux distro and makes self-hosting k8s not miserable.

Yes it’s going to depend on which k8s distribution you’re using. We have work in-progress for k3s to natively support nix-snapshotter: https://github.com/k3s-io/k3s/pull/9319

For other distributions, nix-snapshotter works with official containerd releases so it’s just a matter of toml configuration and a systemd unit for nix-snapshotter.

We run Kubernetes outside of NixOS, but yes the NixOS modules provided by the nix-snapshotter certainly make it simple.

K3S: is a lightweight distribution of Kubernetes that is designed for resource-constrained environments. It is an excellent option for running Kubernetes on a virtual machine or cloud server.

I recently purchased a used Lenovo M900 Think Centre (i7 with 32GB RAM) from eBay to expand my mini-homelab, which was just a single Synology DS218+ plugged into my ISP's router (yuck!). Since I've been spending a big chunk of time at work playing around with Kubernetes, I figured that I'd put my skills to the test and run a k3s node on the new server. While I was familiar with k3s before starting this project, I'd never actually run it before, opting for tools like kind (and minikube before that) to run small test clusters for my local development work.

Kubernetes - k3s distribution

I’ve created a local cluster with K3S and installing Windmill could not be simpler with just one chart to configure, which already has sane defaults to get started. For this demo we will also configure workers to passthrough environment variables to our scripts so that they have access to the Kubernetes API server for later.

You should be familiar with Kubernetes and have set up a Kubernetes cluster. I recommend k3s.

K3s' go.mod[0] is insane.
