k3s — lightweight Kubernetes for edge & homelab
The idea. Not every project needs a heavy cluster. k3s offers a conformant but minimal Kubernetes, ideal for edge, IoT and the homelab — perfect for hosting my own services.
What I configure
- Multi-node k3s install (server + agents), bundling Traefik and containerd.
- Local storage (local-path) and persistent volumes.
- Deploying real applications (services, databases, reverse proxy).
- k3s vs kubeadm comparison: cost, footprint, use cases.
