• Why I'm building a Home Lab with K8s on Raspberry Pis
  2 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 4 Jun 2024

  Wasn't aware of HomelabOS, looks pretty interesting!

  How is your Longhorn performing? I tried setting it up on my nodes but with Gigabit networking and possibly the Pis pretty average CPUs I would get pretty awful performance both in distributed volumes (with replicas etc) but also on strict-local ones (for reasons I haven't yet figured out).

  I am now considering using something like https://github.com/rancher/local-path-provisioner, since I mainly intend to use Longhorn for DBs that handle fault tolerance / backups etc on their own.

• Deploy Ghost with MySQL DB replication using helm chart
  4 projects | dev.to | 19 Jan 2024

  Deploy local-path-provisioner storage class but it does not support readwritemany so for high availability of your Kubernetes cluster better to use longhorn

• lvp: Local Volume CSI Provisioner -- Dynamic PV Provisioning for your Home Cluster
  3 projects | /r/kubernetes | 19 Jun 2023

  I use this one. I'm waiting for the day it's combined with syncthing to sync across all nodes. https://github.com/rancher/local-path-provisioner

• issues with pv retaining data on local-path SC
  1 project | /r/kubernetes | 7 May 2023

  So I have this single node k3s cluster. k3s uses local-path (https://github.com/rancher/local-path-provisioner) as default SC that allows one to create dynamic volumes using nodes local storage.

• How to format drives for local persistent volumes
  2 projects | /r/kubernetes | 23 Apr 2023

  Just create 1 single partition and format it with whatevery filesystem you like. And then use ranchers local-path-provisioner which will create a folder per PV (k3s has this integrated by default).

• Persisting data in a dynamic volume?
  1 project | /r/kubernetes | 10 Apr 2023

  Tinkering locally with local path provisioner (https://github.com/rancher/local-path-provisioner), I find that I can delete and re-create the pod, and the data persists on disk. However, if I delete the PVC, when I recreate the PVC, a new directory on disk is created.

• Issues with "victoria-metrics-k8s-stack", monitoring k8s targets
  5 projects | /r/VictoriaMetrics | 14 Mar 2023

  It is better to use https://github.com/rancher/local-path-provisioner (or similar) for this case which will do PVC on local directories because manually linking PV<>PVC will not work.

• single node k8s on nuc - homelab/prod - storage question
  2 projects | /r/homelab | 11 Mar 2023

  Since you only have one physical node anyway, I would just make the cluster a single-node cluster (1 VM) and use local storage on that VM. I’m biased though because this is what I do (I run K3s and use local path provisioner).

• Using local disks for both K8s workloads, and exporting via SMB?
  1 project | /r/kubernetes | 4 Mar 2023

  Rancher's Local Path Provisioner - From reading, seems to just use HostPath or Local PVs under the hood, but adds dynamic provisoning

• Kubernetes: How to Persistent Storage
  2 projects | /r/hetzner | 10 Feb 2023

  With any of those tools, you'd implement a network storage on top of a network storage. I would go with mouting few volumes per node +local storage like (https://github.com/rancher/local-path-provisioner).
