This may not be the answer you want to hear but just use real OpenShift, not upstream. OpenShift SAs and above have indicated on numerous calls with me that there is no intention to chase after users who use "real" OpenShift in their homelab setups. And why bother? We wouldn't otherwise pay them money and the knowledge we earn in our homelabs is transferable to our time at our companies that do pay them money.

Yeah, I would agree OCP is the way to go if you want to use the RH solution. At the time I couldn't really find any information on whether updates and management would continue to work past the 60 day trial.

In the end I didn't go that route because I typically try to make sure that core systems in my lab are FOSS and not in a licensing gray area. E.g. I use freeipa for my dns, certs, etc instead of the AD environment I also have running on windows server eval systems. Availability of non FOSS software is always subject to change, and I like the idea of being able to quickly rip out any non-kosher systems in my lab should I choose to start selling services or run a business off it.
