Kubernetes at Home on Bare Metal

Warning

This is a WORK IN PROGRESS project, experimental at this time. Things may change without notice.

Documentation, which is also a work in progress and a bit lower priority for now, is available here: https://o-be-one.github.io/kubernetes-at-home/.

Proposal

This project aims to provide a simple and acceptable way to run my own Kubernetes cluster on bare metal at home, with a focus on "low-cost" and high-performance. There is usual controllers for main needs, like cert-manager, external-dns, longhorn, etc. And the whole thing is operated from ArgoCD as a GitOps approach.

Current state

• project structure looks good to me
• main Kubernetes components are setup and running
• secrets are handled and encrypted
• gitops is working using ArgoCD
• few apps are deployed
• storage using Longhorn is setup and running
• storage using Synology NAS is setup and running
• use of Cloudflare tunnel to open choosen app to public
• use of Tailscale and playit.gg to access UDP ports from outside
• a minor part of security was introduced (non privileged)
• Postgres database operator is setup and deployed

Future

Please check issues to know more about the roadmap :).
