- Longhorn: Cloud native distributed block storage for Kubernetes

Kubernetes homelab - Learning by doing, Part 4: Storage
Distributed storage systems enable us to store data that can be made available clusterwide. Excellent! But dynamically apportioning storage across a multi-node cluster is a very complex job. So this is another area where Kubernetes typically outsources the job to plugins (e.g. Cloud providers like Azure or AWS, or systems like Rook or Longhorn).

Setting Up The Home Lab: Setting up Kubernetes Using Ansible
Since I want to play with Kubernetes anyway, I'll set up a k8s cluster. It will have 2 master and 4 worker nodes. Each VM will have 4 cores, 8 GB of RAM, a 32 GB root virtual disk, and a 250 GB data virtual disk for Longhorn volumes. I'll create an ansible user via cloud-init and allow access via SSH.

My First Kubernetes: k3s 'cluster' on 3 Orange Pi Zero 3's
That's a sweet setup.
Have you come across Longhorn[0]?
I wanted to have a look at that for storage when I was using Pis as it theoretically should be lighter-weight than Ceph, who knows. Didn't get around to it though.

Clusters Are Cattle Until You Deploy Ingress
Dan: Argo CD is the first tool I install. For AWS, I will add Karpenter to manage costs. I will also use Longhorn for on-prem storage solutions, though I'd need ingress. Depending on the situation, I will install Argo CD first and then one of those other two.

Why Kubernetes Was a Mistake for My SaaS Business (🤯)
I overcome this issue with Longhorn which is a native distributed block storage for Kubernetes and supports by default RWM and not only RWO (ReadWriteOnce).

K3s – Lightweight Kubernetes
I've been using a 3 nuc (actually Ryzen devices) k3s on SuSE MicroOS https://microos.opensuse.org/ for my homelab for a while, and I really like it. They made some really nice decisions on which parts of k8s to trim down and which Networking / LB / Ingress to use.
The option to use sqlite in place of etcd on an even lighter single node setup makes it super interesting for even lighter weight homelab container environment setups.
I even use it with Longhorn https://longhorn.io/ for shared block storage on the mini cluster.
If anyone uses it with MicroOS, just make sure you switch to kured https://kured.dev/ for the transactional-updates reboot method.
I'd love to compare it against Talos https://www.talos.dev/ but their lack of support for a persistent storage partition (only separate storage device) really hurts most small home / office usage I'd want to try.
