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:

Intending to run something similar to a company’s IT department (Gitlab, Fileshare, Collabsoftware, LDAP, Messaging App, CRM/ERP) 

Can get away with single host K8s setup with that spec so that’s easiest then just need to replicate 😅 at least that’s my thought process

What kind of workload (or data layer) are you planning on running that needs to support multi-region availability like this? Most homelab workloads are sql-based apps, you could definitely sync files to a replicant and setup hot failover, I do that for 1 of my apps (password mgr)

getting 4 Turing RK1s with 16GB ram in there would be LIT! total 32 Cores 64GB Ram and extend it with SATA and NVME Storage in Raid? Sounds amazing😍 thank you for sharing

Been looking wistfully at https://turingpi.com

Pis with usb nvmes for longhorn pvcs. Looking forward to the compute blades shipping. Do check them out. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/uptimelab/compute-blade

What are you planning on using it for?

awesome! thanks for sharing. Want to setup File Sharing, Zapier Selfhosted,  Chat, Gitlab, LDAP and a CRM for a small size company setup and some private/home use. Like Google Workstation + CRM but in awesome and OSS :D

not k8s, but i've helped some friends run miners at home using Intel NUCs.

It's only 35W of power, and (if you have fiber) you can put the modem / router / NUC on a single UPS battery backup so you stay live for up to ~3hrs of power outage.
