Kubernetes on bare metal
I'd have a look at https://www.talos.dev and https://www.sidero.dev/

Talos Linux 1.0
If you're using ipxe to boot & install Talos on baremetal, I would also suggest you take a look at Sidero Metal.

My self-hosting infrastructure, fully automated from empty disk to operating services.
I would take a serious look at Sidero and Talos, which are amazing projects that follow a similar philosophy to flatcar/coreos but they have their own approach as well. They use the cluster api to provision bare metal nodes over iPXE.

5-Step Approach: Projectsveltos for Kubernetes add-on deployment and management on RKE2
In this blog post, we will demonstrate how easy and fast it is to deploy Sveltos on an RKE2 cluster with the help of ArgoCD, register two RKE2 Cluster API (CAPI) clusters and create a ClusterProfile to deploy Prometheus and Grafana Helm charts down the managed CAPI clusters.

“Ansible for DevOps” eBook by Jeff Geerling Is Now Free
4. Having moved to a container orchestrator, all of my nodes are immutable. Hardware and VM instances _can_ be born magically into existence. Nearly all infra providers support [cluster-api](https://cluster-api.sigs.k8s.io/). Network infrastructure can now be managed with TF, so I go that route.
- PR to docs are welcome.

Is it possible to install Rancher to manage an already functioning K8S?
You might find interesting the capi-rancher-import k8s operator we use in Sylva, it would adopt in Rancher server the Cluster API created k8s clusters (with bootstrap provider kubeadm or even rke2 - you can lookup CAPBR for the latter). I understand your clusters are not created by Cluster API, so if you could move the workloads/resources to new clusters created by Cluster API, this can come handy. (Adoption of non-CAPI clusters into CAPI is not yet a standard practice, more in https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/cluster-api/issues/7776)

What tool suggestions do you have for someone who's gonna set up an on-premise k8 cluster? Which tools do you use?
Most of the comments have mentioned older tools like kubespray, Ansible, Rancher etc. I would suggest the cloud native way using ClusterAPI or use a tool that relies on ClusterAPI in the backend called Talos

Scaling Event-Driven Applications Made Easy with Sveltos Cross-Cluster Configuration
Sveltos is a powerful open source project that makes managing Kubernetes add-ons a breeze. It automatically discovers ClusterAPI powered clusters and allows you to easily register any other cluster (like GKE). Then, it seamlessly manages Kubernetes add-ons across all your clusters.
