Anyone running k8s clusters at home? what do you use as servers? Raspberry PIs and then just use many to get high core count? Need around 8-16 cores for the intended workload and would love to replicate across 2 homes for redundancy. Preferably x86 with some RAM as well :smile:

IIRC he uses a few Intel NUCs, but he hosts a lotta stuff

Hi guys, sorry I didn't check my twarps, I run 3x Thinkcentres (approx $700ea) of various ages for my k3s workers. I use 1 NUC as control plane, sad it is deprecated, I was considering adding 2 more for HA control (tho HA in home environment is kind of a joke, outages are from ISP more than node downtime).

Have you considered dual-WAN router with automatic failover to an LTE modem? I have this setup and it's saved my butt a few times w/ WFH

No, I have a Hotspot that supports that for the van, but it hasn't been a main priority for the house. ISP outages haven't been that frequent, I just meant to say that my homelab cluster usually goes down *bc it's a homelab* (I unplugged something, UPS was turned off, etc) rather than a lack of HA control plane.
