Should you deploy kubernetes at home?

Question

Kubernetes

Hello. I have been working with Kuber for some time now and would like to dig into the innards. There are several of their projects that are spinning at home on several laptops. I want to lift/set up a cluster on them. What could be wrong with this idea, what should you pay attention to, how to approach the process?

Answer 1

I have a "standard stack"...
- Rancher on RKE (debian or rancheros)
- Working cluster on k3os under Calico or Multus CNI
- kube-prometheus
- Rook Ceph Minio
- consul-k8s under Ambassador
- skaffold & telepresence
- Argo CI /CD ( https://argoproj.github.io/)
- Gitea instead of gitlab ( https://gitea.io)
- Weave Scope & Net
As you can see, "raising Kubernetes" cluster is not as easy as PR campaigns and advertising say.
