• Does Your Startup Need Complex Cloud Infrastructure?

  What you also can do is starting with just a single node, incredibly easy to install with e.g. https://k3s.io/. You still have to invest the upfront effort to understand how it works but you can already reap a lot of benefits with a lot less complexity. Kubernetes does not force you into the distributed systems hell, you can go that route later, or never. - Source: Hacker News / about 12 hours ago

• Reclaim the Stack

  > Gosh, I'm so happy I was able to jump of the k8s hype train. This is not something SMBs should be using. Now I happily manage my fleet of services without large infra overhead via my own paas over Docker Swarm. :) I mean, I also use Docker Swarm and it's pretty good, especially with Portainer. To me, the logical order of tools goes with scale a bit like this: Docker Compose --> Docker Swarm --> Hashicorp Nomad /... - Source: Hacker News / 5 days ago

• How I learned to stop worrying and love userspace networking

  The author is using https://k3s.io/ not the full k8s, so it doesn't have to be extremely expensive. - Source: Hacker News / 15 days ago

• Let's Make a k3s Cluster with Raspberry Pi and Cloudflare Tunnel

  For those who don't know k3s, it's a light weight version of Kubernetes suitable for IoT & Edge devices. One of the advantages of k3s is it's easier to install and make it up and running. - Source: dev.to / about 1 month ago

• 26 Top Kubernetes Tools

  K3s is another compact Kubernetes distribution. Developed by SUSE, it's packaged as a single binary that comes in at less than 70MB. Despite this tiny footprint, K3s is certified as compatible with upstream Kubernetes, is ready for production use, and supports high availability. - Source: dev.to / 3 months ago

• Linux fu: getting started with systemd

  For self-hosting I've found https://k3s.io to be really good from the SUSE people. Works on basically any Linux distro and makes self-hosting k8s not miserable. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• 15 Options To Build A Kubernetes Playground (with Pros and Cons)

  K3S: is a lightweight distribution of Kubernetes that is designed for resource-constrained environments. It is an excellent option for running Kubernetes on a virtual machine or cloud server. - Source: dev.to / 8 months ago

• K3s Traefik Ingress - configured for your homelab!

  I recently purchased a used Lenovo M900 Think Centre (i7 with 32GB RAM) from eBay to expand my mini-homelab, which was just a single Synology DS218+ plugged into my ISP's router (yuck!). Since I've been spending a big chunk of time at work playing around with Kubernetes, I figured that I'd put my skills to the test and run a k3s node on the new server. While I was familiar with k3s before starting this project,... - Source: dev.to / 9 months ago

• Building a no-code Helm UI with Windmill - Part 1

  I’ve created a local cluster with K3S and installing Windmill could not be simpler with just one chart to configure, which already has sane defaults to get started. For this demo we will also configure workers to passthrough environment variables to our scripts so that they have access to the Kubernetes API server for later. - Source: dev.to / 9 months ago

• Highly scalable Minecraft cluster

  You should be familiar with Kubernetes and have set up a Kubernetes cluster. I recommend k3s. - Source: dev.to / 10 months ago

• Deploying an object detection application to the cloud using Kubernetes and Helm

  Before deploying our application with Helm, we need a Kubernetes cluster. There are many options to deploy a Kubernetes cluster. You can use Minikube to do it locally, K3s or you can create a cluster in AWS, Azure or Google Cloud. - Source: dev.to / 11 months ago

• Ask HN: Options for K8s On-Prem

  You could do that with Ansible, there's kubespray [0] from the official project to do that. You may want to read [1] starting with [2]. There's also k3s [0] and k0s [4]. I've written about my setup here [5] also if you are interested.

• Ask HN: Am I Doomed as a Dev?

  Get a few RPis and get https://k3s.io/ running on them. Get familiar with kubectl. Deploy a few apps to your cluster, tail some logs, restart containers, scale them, etc. Install Prometheus, get monitoring working, make some dashboards with Grafana. This point is to gain familiarity with "modern" cloud infrastructure, but in a low stakes environment where nothing can go wrong. Then, you can talk about your... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• Kubernetes Exposed: One YAML Away from Disaster

  > I moved to docker swarm and love it. It's so much easier, straight forward, automatic ingress network and failover were all working out of the box. I'll stay with swarm for now. I've had decent luck in the past with the K3s distribution, which is a bit cut down Kubernetes: https://k3s.io/ It also integrates nicely with Portainer (aside from occasional Traefik ingress weirdness sometimes), which I already use for... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• Implementing TLS in Kubernetes

  A Kubernetes distribution: You need to install a Kubernetes distribution to create the Kubernetes cluster and other necessary resources, such as deployments and services. This tutorial uses kind (v0.18.0), but you can use any other Kubernetes distribution, including minikube or K3s. - Source: dev.to / about 1 year ago

• Ask HN: Best solution for homelab service monitoring?

  Personally I use kubernetes, k3s is kind of lightweight, with the Prometheus operator. https://k3s.io/ https://prometheus-operator.dev/ Kubernetes is not for everyone and is far from perfect but you already use Docker and you seem to seek many features offered by Kubernetes. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• Are there any dedicated linux distros that come out of the box with k8s?

  Easily create multi-node Kubernetes clusters with K3s, and enjoy all of K3s's features. Source: over 1 year ago

• Distributing containers to run locally?

  Or a bare metal option would be to use k3s which will install all dependencies (no docker required). Source: over 1 year ago

• Ask HN: How should I start my own home lab?

  - Installed https://k3s.io/ on them. One master node and one agent/worker. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Run kubernetes on potato

  If you’re trying to learn usage of kubernetes like kubectl then its exactly what you need. If you’re trying to learn how to install and configure a cluster, then you shouldn’t be using your local PC anyways lol. K3s is great, check out the website. (I’m not affiliated with k3s in any way).
