Repo owner here, I just created this account, I'm a long time HN lurker. I was surprised to find this on Hacker News, I wanted to wait until the stable release before posting on HN, but thank you for posting :) This project is still in alpha stage, but please feel free to critique; I'd appreciate it. Edit 1: After reading some of the comments, I want to clarify a few things: - Because it is currently in the alpha stage, I do not host anything important on it. - This is also my learning environment, I use Kubernetes in my day job. - Yes it is overkill ;) Edit 2: Wording

do you use k3s in production as well ?

  Is production == my day job? If so we don't, we use managed Kubernetes (we used to manage our own clusters but they will be decommissioned soon).

    Can you go into the reasons you went to managed vs self owned K8S?

Thanks for the project! Once deployed, how do you keep everything up to date?

  I'm currently bumping the versions manually (via a commit), but I plan to automate that with system upgrade controller [1] and Dependabot [2] (or similar) [1]: https://github.com/rancher/system-upgrade-controller https://github.com/rancher/system-upgrade-controller [2]: https://github.com/dependabot https://github.com/dependabot

This looks very interesting. Already saved your github repo for later use. Also, overkill; what is that?

Your stack looks a lot like my lab setup!! Mine is based around VMs using K3OS but I have also been looking at thinkstations and other cheap Intel-T CPU workstations. How do you find disk performance and reliability?
- khuedoan 5y ago
  The performance is pretty good, but I didn't get a chance to test the reliability because I keep nuking the cluster to try new things :P
