Any K3s / RPi combo user here ?

  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • kilo

    Kilo is a multi-cloud network overlay built on WireGuard and designed for Kubernetes (k8s + wg = kg) (by squat)

  • Networking: Manually configured wireguard VPN between all nodes. I consider checking out kilo when I find some time though. VPS handles all incoming traffic (with ingress-nginx) but outbound traffic from containers uses regular network, no VPN.

  • restic

    Fast, secure, efficient backup program

  • Backups: A dumb cronjob which backs up NFS backing volumes with restic to Backblaze B2.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • nfs-subdir-external-provisioner

    Dynamic sub-dir volume provisioner on a remote NFS server.

  • Storage: Currently NFS client provisioner with two backing NFS volumes (one on the laptop, one on the VPS). Manually configured in the nodes' OS, and listening only on the VPN interfaces. I have checked Rook.io and OpenEBS(w/cStor) in the past and they work but require quite a lot of RAM. So I went back to old but light NFS. Longhorn only got arm64 support recently, I have not tried it yet.

  • ingress-nginx

    Ingress-NGINX Controller for Kubernetes

  • Networking: Manually configured wireguard VPN between all nodes. I consider checking out kilo when I find some time though. VPS handles all incoming traffic (with ingress-nginx) but outbound traffic from containers uses regular network, no VPN.
