    From your post history, it looks like you're using RPis, in which case the intrinsic latency of the USB controller is starting you off on the wrong foot. etcd doesn't like latency > 10ms. Have you tested your setup with kbench or something similar?

    I've bene following their issues about HDD and they say HDD is not recommended but is not a no-go. They state that HDD works up to a certain load, and they are looking to improve it. I believe this benchmark tool by Longhorn does 4K random writes... https://github.com/yasker/kbench

    1 project | /r/sonarr | 15 Oct 2023
    I am trying to run sonarr inside my k3s cluster. Since I have multiple nodes, in order to keep data persistant I have been using a NAS and the Kubernetes NFS external provisioner as my Storage Class.

    Depends on how much resiliency you need . Something like https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/nfs-subdir-external-provisioner works well for a lab or non-prod cluster. You could even use something like this in prod if you have access to highly reliably NFS mounts.
  • Recommendations for k8s storage solution
    1 project | /r/kubernetes | 9 Dec 2022
    I first installed a NFS Server via this helm chart: https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/nfs-subdir-external-provisioner Eventually I deployed Longhorn cause I needed expandable volumes, which the first repo doesn't support. I guess for best performance you should go for a ceph cluster, but I'm not an expert.
  • Move to K8s for hosting at home?
    3 projects | /r/selfhosted | 21 Sep 2022
    I used the NFS provisioner for persistent volumes until I got the Ceph side up and running. I created a share on my NAS specifically for k8s. It worked very well and had the bonus of being just a regular file system that you could browse/edit easily (just place files in or edit config). I would agree with not moving plex into k8s. I right now just have a barebones 1 control 2 worker setup using k3s.
  • K8s - Self hosted PaaS?
    1 project | /r/selfhosted | 18 Sep 2022
    However, is it too difficult to create new pods/deployments etc on your own? I find it super easy to just create a PVC (via https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/nfs-subdir-external-provisioner ) and create a MySQL pod in a new namespace for every micro service I create.

    This is what you need https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/nfs-subdir-external-provisioner Point it to a folder and it will create subfolders for each PVC.
