This homelab setup is my favorite one yet.

Hosting my own services using a homelab has been an absolute dream. However, my first homelab setup had some mistakes, and so I decided to rebuild it from scratch, and share with you how I did so.

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.

[@dreamsofautonomy]

I shall add this to my backlog!

[@georgebals5170]

Second this, I work in devops so I have some understanding of what those things are (I'm still a junior) and how they are useful in a company. But for personal use? I can envision a usecase for hosting your own movies and maybe website.

[@ChaiRuou]

tbh, very limited you can learn from video like this, it's like a showcase of how he setup his home lab, to achieve that you need to learn lot of knowledge to has foundation to start to do same setup. From your question, can see that you're lack of very basic knownledge on computer networking, and it's more nightmare if you put your feet on thing like IaC as use Helm, complex system like Kubernetes.

[@Standbackforscience]

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

[@dreamsofautonomy]

I'm envious! I've never been able to get into the mindset for ansible. Now I've got a spare cluster (my old one) I may find some time to give it a go

[@obvionaoe]

@@dreamsofautonomy To be honest, even though it is simpler and easier to use, I feel like Ansible is a downgrade from NixOS, in regards to the control you have over the state of the machine. Nix allows you to rollback and specify the exact state of the machine, while Ansible only allows you to declare what you want to be performed on the machine, it doesn't give you any assurances that it is the state you wished for.

[@areweevensomeoneoutthere]

@@obvionaoe Aren't these different tools? I am not sure you can achieve the same ideas ansible can bring to a bunch of a machines while having good compatibility. But please explain if it's possible, I am intrigued to know.

[@gabbieblue]

@@areweevensomeoneoutthere the benefits of nixos being a declarative system, rather than a declarative tool used with a normal system, are the full system reproducibility (if you set it up right) and freedom from dependency hell (every program and library is installed to its own directory, allowing multiple installs of the same program/library) ansible is a great tool for reproducibility, but nixos can replicate all of ansibles functionality and a bit more

[@goporororo7404]

​@obvionaoe nix is great for the initial set up phase but ansible is good for controlling multiple servers

[@TheSoberPirate]

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!

[@DogeMultiverse]

the main question i have is, what do you use it for? hosting websites? hosting game servers? unless you are renting out these in form of k8 compute, its really hard to justify the cost.

[@SnorreSelmer]

@@DogeMultiverse Three control-plane nodes, three compute-nodes? It's always good to have options to try out different things.

[@TheSoberPirate]

Do I need a justification for a hobby? I use them to test different technologies: hypervisors, hyperconverged storage, high availability. Currently running vSAN cluster, purely for learning purposes. When I’m done, I’ll tear it down and build something else.

[@gungun974]

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

[@John-x3l7m]

so where do you put it?

[@gungun974]

​@@John-x3l7m I can't explain here the rabbit hole of nix encryption but basically you need to store in the nix store already encrypted secrets files and in your NixOS configuration a module that can at the start of your server decipher your encrypted secrets and expose them in some runtime temporary file only specific program can have access. Personally I use nix sops and sops to do that but like I said it's a rabbit hole and there more tools for the same jobs but here the ideas.

[@raul824428]

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.

[@ケブ]

How did it go?

[@Grstearns]

The rest of the video was good enough to excuse not saying "i-skuzzy". Took me a second to realize that MetalLB was required for DHCP since its layer 2 and would not be routed in or out of the cluster without an outside relay.

[@aaronperl]

I still need to learn more about how Kubernetes works, but I really appreciate your approach of setting up part of it, encountering an error, then fixing that error. Moving along in small steps, showing the error and how to fix it, I find really helps me to understand how the pieces fit together, rather than just giving a config file that works for you and leaving it up to me to figure out what I need to change for my environment.

[@danielleahelsie]

Tried a similar setup about a year ago for some light homelabe stuff I wanted highly available. This would have made the exact thing I was trying, much simpler. I got flash backs multiple times in this video. The iscusi dependancy abd fix, metal lb crds with nginx as the ingress, yea identical and this is cleaner still. Add cert manager and you'll have everything I needed at the time. If you plan on continuing with this project and series I'd be interested to see, meanwhile I'll take a look at you're other videos. Good stuff, nice work.

[@dreamsofautonomy]

Thanks! I'll definitely be continuing with this setup and have added in cert-manager etc as well 😁. Should be more content coming out soon!

[@roganl]

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.

I manage some Kubernetes clusters in the cloud and I learned a few things. Very interesting video. I bumped into your video 2 days ago because I did some searches on mini-pcs with n100 Intel cpu. I wanted to setup a Proxmox server with a Home Assistant VM as a starter. I also already copied some of your zsh config and moved my prompt from PowerLevel10Kto oh-my-posh (I already used it for powershell with the default config). To test some Kubernetes configurations without deploying to the cloud I use K3D (in WSL on my laptop). Nodes are docker containers. It worked well for my use cases, I managed to validate some istio (service mesh) egress load balancing setup. But yes it is not a permanent home lab setup...

Awesome! I'm really looking forward to giving Talos a go.

[@klaernie]

Talos definitely would have been a quicker way of getting to a Kubernetes cluster. My firewall provides DHCP, which sets the hostname for each of my Talos nodes. This means I can use a single config for all nodes, only diverting controlplane and worker nodes. If you take a look at the quick start docs - yes, it is actually this easy. But kudos for going the long way, it builds experience ;)

@@solido888 yea learning to maintain the nodes in an API driven way is a learning curve for sure. But having essentially two config files to configure the nodes with a single command is wild.

[@LampJustin]

Pretty dope! But just some remarks: with Talos you'd have spend much less time setting up your cluster (I totally get why you had done this, but still maintenance is a lot better on Talos), also you should check out the piraeus storage operator, it is muuuuch better than longhorn in terms of draining nodes, speed and maintainability as It's using drbd kernel module under the hood. (Talos has an extension for the kmod btw). Still great setup, I'm pretty jealous. Maybe try out kubevirt and hosting some VMs;) but you'll probably want to use piraeus/drbd for the storage then 😅, Longhorn is just hella slow

[@dreamsofautonomy]

Definitely looking forward to trying out Talos in a future video! I'll be decommissioning my old cluster and using it for dedicated videos once I get everything migrated which should be end of this week! Kubevirt is also something I want to check out as well! So much fun k8s stuff to jump into.

Thanks for the inspiration. Tried out NixOS and borrowed heavily from your conf now when I converted my cluster to 3-node-HA. Did you keep or disable the "longhorn-iscsi-installation"-pod? Not sure if it is because I run a multi-arch cluster but on the x86_64 nixos node that container crash loops trying to use yum. I would like to disable that install-pod entirely since I already ensure I have iscsi on all nodes.

Great video, and a lot of cool ideas for me to now try over the next month or so. I setup a k3s "cluster" just this morning, the timing for this video could not be any more perfect. All I wanted was a postgres database for one of my side projects, so I just use an old rpi 3b that I had lying around and installed k3s on it just for fun. helmfile looks interesting though, I might give it a shot. I just made 5 different yaml configs to deploy postgres, followed a guide from digital ocean. A beelink eq12 cluster seems a little overkill for my use case, but I might add some more PIs to my cluster and then add kubernetes to my resume.

[@tommytigerpants]

This is fantastic. I used RBpis 4Bs with k3s for this. How do you get rid of that annoying 'update available' link in the bottom of the pihole UI? I deploy the helm upgrade but the link doesn't move, and I wonder if this is why my adblock score has dropped from circa 90% to 30%.
