i did not understand anything past nixos but i still watched until the end
-
neat to see some examples of k8s based homelabbing/self hosting!
-
We are really interested in a crash course about homelab computing. How is a cluster useful? What is the purpose of a DNS? Load balancer? Namespace? All of those questions are a search away, but a "getting started" video would blow up for sure.
-
Great video, just note. You should never writte a secret in a nix things even if you don't use git. Almost everything you put in secret will end up in the nix stores so beware of leaving behind secret there

Budget tip #574: Buy 8GB version of Beelink EQ12 + 32GB RAM stick. You can save some money especially when buying more nodes. Reselling the 16GB stick is not easy (and not worth it). I have 6 EQ12s in a cluster, fantastic little machines to play with!

Devops engineer here. Ubuntu server + Ansible is how I roll, both for homelab and at work.

I did learn nothing from this video - too complex š but it did spark interest for trying kubernetes stuff myself
-
It's funny this video found me. I just purchased 3 of those Mini-Pc's 3 days ago, and now this is sitting in my video feed. I guess the algorithms are on the job.

Last week in office cleanup I was asking for 2-3 cpus and two guys from leadership gave me their own old cpus. I was thinking about setting a kubernetes cluster. Lo and behold your video comes now I know what to do this weekend.
-
this is so awesome and exactly the kind of video i was hoping for from you. i'm here for all the homelab content all day.
-
Great in-depth and detailed explanation for setting up a cluster from scratch, especially nice that in the end you explained why you needed two additional charts to get the final pieces of the puzzle working. Thanks!
-
Nice to see more NixOS around! I am using colmena to keep a config of my nodes, so I don't need to SSH into them to apply changes to my NixOS nodes. Keep it coming!
-
Great video! love how detailed it is
-
Great video, thanks for making! š Am curious to learn more about nix in upcoming videos
-
Great video as always, boss
-
This was excellent. Although I would love to have seen the HA feature testdriven; perhaps builidng out the k3s stack and THEN upgrading the RAM & storage iteratively. I would also love to see cert-manager integration, as well as acme/letsencrypt.
-
Wow, I learned a few things and it gives me some ideas to try in my clusters
-
never heard of helmfile until today, thanks.
-
Thank you so much for this video! This pretty much exactly encapsulates my vision of what i am currently in the process of building! The helmfile and kustomize were two Lego bricks i felt like i was missing in my current attempt. I'm excited to see more!

Can't wait to see your video on Talos Linux
