I recommend learning docker first, then pick a vps host from vpsbenchmarks, then use k3sup to deploy a kubernetes cluster on that, then follow a getting-started kubernetes tutorial from there. You'll also want to buy a domain name with tld-list and then provision a TLS certificate with cert-manager and letsencrypt (skip steps 1-4 because Google Cloud is overpriced).

I just installed k3s yesterday using k3sup on 6 VMs (3 masters, 3 workers) each with 2GB RAM ( limited by the actual RAM on hardware, for now ) with Ubuntu 22.04 as the base OS.

k3s installed with k3sup, longhorn for storage, kube-vip for API VIP, and MetalLB for service load balancer using local subnet, and of course Rancher.

My applause to Alex Ellis for writing a clear, direct call to arms!

Their work is super useful and interesting. I've added them to my list of sponsorships: https://github.com/sponsors/alexellis

Yeah, this is the answer, but I would use this with K3S: https://github.com/alexellis/k3sup

I still don't forgive SUSE for buying Rancher and then unceremoniously killing k3os. They just left the website up and everything, made no announcement, made no attempt to help the community take over, just left the Github repo to rot: https://k3os.io/

Hard to have confidence in SUSE's commitment to another open source operating system side project after that. SUSE's announcement at the time:

Like SUSE, Rancher is 100% open source and equally as passionate as SUSE about true open source innovation, community empowerment, and customer success. SUSE and Rancher share the same goal – happy and satisfied customers.

k3os is no longer supported by Rancher: https://github.com/rancher/k3os/issues/846 I've been keeping mine up to date with https://github.com/BlueKrypto/k3os

I (still) run k3os, but it's dead since SUSE bought rancher. (see https://github.com/rancher/k3os/issues/846)

I'm personally fond of https://k3os.io for my small to medium hobby and professional clusters. It comes with a lot the bells and whistles, but is also pretty minimum and just scales easily.

I really liked K3OS, but I feel like Rancher is no longer supporting it. The last commit on the k3os repo is from April, and before those three commits, November of last year. When Rancher decided to move their HCI offering, Harvester, over to RancherOS V2 being based on cOS toolkit/OpenSuse, I don't have high hopes that K3OS will be maintained.

I run k3os on an old laptop with a broken screen.
