TrueNAS virtualization using Harvester and Kubevirt
At Harvester v1.1.2, it seems virtual machines on some AMD platforms cannot detect nested virtualization. This might relate to Harvester issue #3900, but that issue is categorized as a user interface bug only. Besides, I can run virtual machines on my Ryzen 5600G node normally (with SVM, IOMMU, and SR-IOV enabled, while /sys/module/kvm_amd/parameters/nested returns 1).
- Are there any dedicated linux distros that come out of the box with k8s?

š§I tried out Harvester HCI for the homelab, and it is an interesting solution
With this being nowhere documented, I dived into GitHub issues and found #1479. I learned the bootstrap password is admin, which then allowed me to log in.
- Self hosting our Startup, where do we begin?
-
proxmox in docker or vagrant
Or with Hyper-converged infrastructure https://harvesterhci.io/

Any easy to use gui to create/deploy/monitor k8s for a devops newbie?
Have a look at Harvester if you have a unused pc. It can create a k3s cluster in vms automatically. TechnoTim has done a video about it, looks really easy. Also combines with rancher and longhorn for managing cluster a storage.

Has anyone used Harvester?
Im currently using proxmox and I want to what the community's feelings towards Suse Harvester. What are your experiences and is it worth trying out?
- Can you do infrastructure as code on non-cloud assets?

3 node kubernetes cluster - All masters?
This seems like the route, thank you for your response. u/happyColoradoDave pointed me towards harvester which should make VM management easier. Going to go with that to run VMs now.

Is anyone using kubevirt, oVirt or some "kubernetes VM" solution to fire up Windows (not linux) VM's in any reasonable number?
I assume you mean https://harvesterhci.io/

Criticize my backup strategy
Actual media storage (movies, pictures, anything that lives on my unRAID box) is mounted to each pod that needs it via the SMB CSI driver. I would love to use NFS instead, but even with 4.x, I was running into stale file mount issues. You can see my findings and why I decided to use SMB instead here

Using S3 as shared storage
What is the recommended way to use S3 as shared storage for media (videos)? Currently I'm using SAMBA network share RWX volumes using this plugin and I would like to switch to S3 compatible service to increase performance and to avoid my current limit set by my cloud provider on that SAMBA server of 10 active connections for SAMBA.

Network Storage on On-Prem Barebones Machine
With SMB I'm using the CSI SMB Driver helm chart to deploy it. When creating the persistent volume I'm able to use some mounting options where I have the following included:

Beginner needing help with Persistant storage
Kubernetes has a native solution for many different storage integrations - CSI. There is a CSI driver for SMB as well. After installing the driver you will be able to map your config files from smb server via regular volume mount and config map.
-
CIFS/SMB share mounted inside a pod
I mean, in short either find a project that includes support for it (I don't know of one), or look at a CSI that does like the SMB CSI driver.

Mounting CIFS volume on a pod - security contexts needed
Using a CSI Plugin you should be able to separate the admin side from the user side. I haven't dove into this but here is a plugin that might help - https://github.com/kubernetes-csi/csi-driver-smb
