PaperLB: A Kubernetes Network Load Balancer Implementation
Not to take anything away from OP but MetalLB also provides local load balancing.
Quoting from their docs:
-
libvirt-k8s-provisioner - Ansible and terraform to build a cluster from scratch in less than 10 minutes ok KVM - Updated for 1.26
metalLB to manage bare-metal LoadBalancer services - WIP - Only L2 configuration can be set-up via playbook.

How hard is it to deploy kubernetes on bare metal in 2022 ?
Set up MetalLB https://metallb.universe.tf/ either via helm or simple manifest. Pick a range of ips to allocate, and assign via manifest https://metallb.universe.tf/configuration/
- Kubernetes e netstat
- K3s with multiple external IPs per node?

How do I get rid of the 'calico' pods? My coreDNS pods are stuck in pending status
I tried this, but it didn't work: https://github.com/projectcalico/calico/blob/master/calico/hack/remove-calico-policy/remove-policy.md

Letting VMs talk to Kubernetes
If you do kubectl get pods --all-namespaces will show all the pods in Pending state, that's because we don't have any network plugin configured with our Kubernetes cluster. I use Calico network plugin for this demo but you can use any Kubernetes network plugin of your choice as long it has ability to define host gateway routes.

Networking problems in k3s
So, I've setup this k3s cluster of mine at home on four different Raspberry Pi 4b devices. At first, everything is working perfectly. I've decided to use https://github.com/projectcalico/calico for my CNI, and it seems to be working. Also, I decided to use https://github.com/metallb/metallb/ to provision load balancers on my cluster. All of that is great.
