  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)

  

Project mention: How can I route some pods through a Wireguard pod? | /r/kubernetes | 2023-07-05

I deployed k3s to a test node using Techno Tim's k3s-ansible playbook.

• cluster-template

  63 1,552 9.8 Python

  A template for deploying a Kubernetes cluster with k3s or Talos

  

Project mention: Home Lab Guide | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-03-08

k8s is a lot easier for homelabs than it used to be, and imo it's quicker than nix for building a declarative homelab. templates like this one can deploy a cluster in a few hours: https://github.com/onedr0p/cluster-template

here's my home assistant deployment as a single file: https://github.com/pl4nty/homelab/blob/main/kubernetes/clust...

I deliberately nuked my onprem cluster a few weeks ago, and was fully restored within 2 hours (including host OS reinstalls). and most of that was waiting for backup restores over my slow internet connection

  Integrate Kubernetes and pfSense

Project mention: Browsing like it's 1994: Integrating a Mac SE, ImageWriter II into a modern LAN | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-09-17

It's over-engineered, but I wanted to try running k8s in my homelab to continue learning about networking; deploying a blog seemed like a perfect test case. The cluster uses Traefik, https://github.com/travisghansen/kubernetes-pfsense-controll... to sync service definitions to HAProxy, and MetalLB. The k8s service IPs are routable from my local network, as well as the MetalLB IPs, and MetalLB handles syncing them to pfSense using BGP. pfSense sends DNS for any *.k8s.home.arpa to k8s, so I can resolve e.g. blog.default.svc.k8s.home.arpa on my local network.

One interesting hiccup: I had to introduce a NAT at pfSense because MacBooks don't listen to ICMP redirects, the packet would go laptop -> router -> k8s and then k8s -> laptop. Since the MacBook ignored the ICMP redirect, it drops the reply packet.
