Part #2 is live now!: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49055917

First of all, huge thanks to the Hacker News community for all the feedback Part 1 of this series received. In Part 2, let's get uCore, k3s and FluxCD running on the server! ... and some MikroTik hardening prior to that

I did more research and I've decided to start part #2 from hardening of my MikroTik prior to home-lab setup. Part #2 is live now!: https://justsomebody.dev/blog/gitops-k3s-flux

Apologies, fix should be live now

LLMs certainly help out - in my case, agent helped with searching through various web forums about how my ISP authenticates and sets up Internet connection.

Nevertheless let's give MikroTik, where it's due:

* new documentation page is much cleaner to browse

* tutorials on their YouTube channel are quite informative

* WinBox v4 has in my opinion much more pleasent UX/UI than v3

From some time, I had a though about getting my home-lab. Prior to that, I've decided to prepare my networking for it and ditch the router given by my ISP for MikroTik to optimise the network. It turned out it's not easy - why? Check it out on my latest blog post!
