Specs¶

Specifications for my home cluster.

  Software¶

•    Raspberry Pi OS 64-bit
•   k3s
•   Flux
•    Mozilla SOPS

  Hardware¶

•   Turing Pi - 1X
•   Raspberry Pi CM3+ - 1X master - 6X nodes
•   Raspberry Pi 4 B - 1X serving 5TB via NFS
•   MITXPC MX500-USB3 Compact Mini-ITX Case - 1X
•   Noctua NF-A4x10 Fans - 2X

  Storage¶

I'm using using anything fancy for storage such as rook-ceph nor Longhorn. Just a 5TB disk being served by a Raspberry Pi 4 B  via NFS and integrated into the cluster using nfs-subdir-external-provisioner.

  Networking¶

I don't use any fancy networking in my cluster, yet. This is definitely a topic that I want tackle at a later date. Currently, I'm using Traefik with external-dns to serve my applications.

  Automation¶

I try to use automaiton as much as possible when developing my projects so that I don't have to remember or perform the same tasks over and over. Some of those automations include using pre-commit, Task, and GitHub Actions.

  Tools¶

• Ansible
• Task
• pre-commit
•   usbboot
• kubectl
• krew
• change-ns
• cert-manager
• Kubernetes NameSpace Killer (knsk)
