1. k3sup

   1 58 6,615 5.2 Go

   bootstrap K3s over SSH in < 60s 🚀

   

   I use https://k3s.io and it's super simple. You will have a basic cluster running in less than 5 minutes. There's even an unofficial installer for it (https://github.com/alexellis/k3sup) which makes the bootstrapping even easier.

2. InfluxDB

   www.influxdata.com featured

   InfluxDB – Built for High-Performance Time Series Workloads. InfluxDB 3 OSS is now GA. Transform, enrich, and act on time series data directly in the database. Automate critical tasks and eliminate the need to move data externally. Download now.

   

3. rke2

   2 28 1,763 9.5 Go

   

   Give a try to rke2 https://docs.rke2.io/ We are using it on EC2 and it is really good. If you want something quick, I think kubeadm is the way to go

4. flintlock

   3 4 832 8.3 Go

   Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking MicroVMs. Create and manage the lifecycle of MicroVMs backed by containerd.

   

   Have a look at Liquid Metal using microvms on baremetal and using flintlock. It's pretty frigging awesome. :)

6. k3s

   5 317 29,598 9.7 Go

   Lightweight Kubernetes

   

   I use https://k3s.io and it's super simple. You will have a basic cluster running in less than 5 minutes. There's even an unofficial installer for it (https://github.com/alexellis/k3sup) which makes the bootstrapping even easier.

7. kubespray

   6 60 17,076 9.8 Jinja

   Deploy a Production Ready Kubernetes Cluster

   

   We went with Kubespray, pretty solid and since we already had Ansible in place it was pretty easy!

8. homelab

   7 4 - -

   I ended up writing my own, twice actually. Just re-wrote my entire k8s setup for my new homelab. It's published here on gitlab.com. It's not very well documented since it's for personal use but I think it emphasizes how easy it is to setup kubeadm and why there is little reason to make it more complicated than it needs to be.

10. ansible-role-k3s

    8 1 39 1.8 Jinja

    Ansible role for deploying k3s cluster (by rlex)

    

    At my personal testlab/cluster, i use k3s deployed with my ansible role

11. ansible-role-k3s

    9 8 672 3.4 Jinja

    Ansible role for installing k3s as either a standalone server or HA cluster.

    

    There is another very good ansible role for k3s, actually better than mine

12. hetzner-k3s

    10 47 2,386 9.7 Crystal

    The easiest and fastest way to create and manage Kubernetes clusters in Hetzner Cloud using the lightweight distribution k3s by Rancher.

    

    If you somehow use hetzner, this one is great too for k3s
