Nice! I recently wrote a blog article about home-hosting on a RPI4 using kubernetes (https://kubesail.com/blog/k3s-raspberry-pi).

Such a bright future in home-hosting - really looking forward to seeing the movement grow! The https://www.linuxserver.io/ community is pretty great re: home-hosting apps as well.

I've set up a small cluster at home via Docker Swarm. I use it to not only an environment to prototype more complex apps, but also keep my devops knowledge up, too.

I originally had a Cluster Hat (https://clusterhat.com/) which piggybacked four Pi-0's on a Pi 3. Even cut out a nice acrylic case, too (https://climbers.net/sbc/clusterhat-review-raspberry-pi-zero...). It worked fine, and I even had Hadoop running on it for a while. The biggest issue was the ARM7 of the host (pi3) vs the ARM6 of the Zero's. This caused a lot of problems with deployments, essentially eliminating the redundancy you get from orchestration systems.

That's awesome! didn't know about https://fleet.linuxserver.io/ !

Gotta definitely try this, thanks

Yeah! They have a really great community in their chatroom as well - A lot of our Kubernetes templates are based on their excellent Docker images :)

Wow linuxserver.io looks amazing! But the sheer number of images available make me wish the table had a column with short descriptions to know at a glance what is each thing. Most of the items (at least those I clicked) don't even have a description or link to home page, so it's difficult to have a quick overview.

How do I home host KubeSail?
