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

Thank you 🙏 intel nuc is just discontinued but it’s Hardware so might work for a few years or gigabytes ones replace it 🧐 but the 12 cores in the newest one sound 🔥

for reference Gigabyte GB-BEi7HS-1260 12 Cores up to 64GB Ram is a dream. 500$ price tag so ~ 3 PI 4 8GB depending on timing of purchase. Doesn't sound too out of place

Fair have a raspi 4 8GB as router (piHole) for 2 years and it’s running smooth too. Just x86 for packet compatibility is unbeaten when going into smaller GitHub repo helm charts for K8s 😂 or not wanting to build your own Docker Images sometimes.

Oh no I missed that news 😭😭😭 but either way I feel liked you'd get more longevity out of a NUC than raspi - I have one that's been in service 24/7 since 2018, only issue I've had was I had to replace the fan in it abt a year ago because I got a little aggressive cleaning it w/ compressed air
