Kubernetes at Home on Bare Metal

Warning

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

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

Proposal

This project aims to provide a simple and efficient 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

• Setup the project structure
• Setup the main Kubernetes components
• Setup a way to handle secrets from Git
• Setup some Git workflows

Future

Not ordered list with some ideas for future:

• Add image / diagram / illustration to the README
• Setup observability using VictoriaMetrics
• Setup a database operator
• Maybe migrate from Tailscale Funnel to Cloudflare Tunnel (cloudflared)
• Maybe add gvisor for better security and performance
• Maybe add trivy for vulnerability scanning
• Add a backup solution on the top of the one provided by Longhorn
• Complete upgrade documentation
• Complete troubleshooting documentation
• Complete any other documentation
