  • k3s-ansible

    The easiest way to bootstrap a self-hosted High Availability Kubernetes cluster. A fully automated HA k3s etcd install with kube-vip, MetalLB, and more. Build. Destroy. Repeat. (by techno-tim)

  • cluster-template

    A template for deploying a Kubernetes cluster with k3s or Talos

    more of an end-to-end solution than a build-it-yourself, but this was a huge help in my understanding of k8s and the other tech like gitops - https://github.com/onedr0p/flux-cluster-template

  • terraform-hcloud-kube-hetzner

    Optimized and Maintenance-free Kubernetes on Hetzner Cloud in one command!

    You can look at this: https://github.com/kube-hetzner/terraform-hcloud-kube-hetzner
