RE: https://hachyderm.io/@badnetmask/116253214141420297
Ha! Funny! I can't hold myself. I said I needed to downsize, so I did remove one Raspberry Pi 4, however now I need to add a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W to monitor a UPS in a location that is not reachable by any "regular" computer. So I'm back to the same place I was before, just a different device. 🤪

RE: https://hachyderm.io/@badnetmask/116736789572154760
After yesterday's power outage I had something banging in my head about the survivability of my Talos Kubernetes cluster.
So today I just decided to tear it down completely, format all the disks, rebuild, and recover from the backup.
And just how I predicted there were a lot of dark corners and hidden skeletons. The rebuild was not clean, there was a lot of ordering/dependency problems, but I was able to go through everything and create a comprehensive step-by-step "how to rebuild from scratch" document.
More lessons learned. All because some construction work is being done nearby and took down the power. 😄

Everything in life has pros and cons: Kubernetes in the home lab makes a lot of things more complicated, but a lot of other things less complicated. Replacing Telegraf + InfluxDB with Node Exporter and sending directly to Victoria Metrics gives me much more visibility on the Raspberry Pis. On top of that, using SNMP Exporter to collect data from Synology allows me to completely get rid of containers running inside an appliance. Silver linings.

RE: https://hachyderm.io/@badnetmask/115906811590788658
Well, it's the end of an era: my 3 Lenovo M720q are now a full Talos Linux cluster, Proxmox is gone, and the Framework Desktop has been repurposed as a dedicated game station running Bazzite.
Most likely I will migrate from my old Razer laptop to the Framework Desktop, and make it my only workstation, but not today.

Unpopular opinion: I have fought with ZFS under Talos for months, but in reality what I needed was Longhorn.
Yeah, yeah, I now, different things. But that's just to say that ZFS is not the silver bullet that some people try to convince you of.

Yeah, I'm plenty aware that using networked volumes with Kubernetes is the better way to go, but I gotta hand it to Longhorn: the distributed replicas make it a breeze to move stuff around and do physical maintenance in the nodes. 👏

RE: https://hachyderm.io/@badnetmask/115786742434227283
Hey folks, if anyone ever followed my blog post about enrolling the Talos UEFI keys into the Lenovo M720Q Tiny, you might want to look at it again.
I realized I forgot one step, which is completely optional, and may vary according to your security posture, but doing so provides better security.
After you enroll the Talos key, the BIOS switches to "User Mode", which allows the OS to change the keys. Ideally you should go back into the BIOS and change to "Deployed Mode". This way you can only change the keys by physically booting the machine.
Sorry about that.

@blenderfox @homelab I need to poke at them both a bit more before deciding. I only started using k8s in my homelab relatively recently when I finally took at look at #TalosLinux.
#Talos made all the annoyance of having to maintain the VM k8s is running on go away, and it's forced me to have better habits at home about checking everything into git since I can't just ssh into the VM for maintenance.

Stop wasting hours hardening Linux for Kubernetes. 🛑
Running K8s on Ubuntu means battling OS patches and config drift. Plus, shared cloud VMs throttle your I/O.
Move to Immutable Bare Metal:
✅ Talos Linux (No SSH, purely API-driven)
✅ 3-Node HA & strict etcd quorum
✅ Cilium eBPF native L2 routingDitch the hypervisor tax. ⚡

@b I have a three node NUC cluster at home, using Talos Linux for the OS. #talosLinux is amazing.
I wanted to learn as I use k8s at work, but nothing is better than dogfooding it at home. Sure, there's some setup but wasn't insane, and now I spend less time setting up stuff than with my old podman setup.
argo cd for cd
helm
some kustomize
longhorn for storage
cilium for CNI (network policies are worth it)
talhelper for additional talos goodies
cpu/memory limits for containers
renovatebot for keeping things updatedI have forgejo at home for storing my k8s git repo, and for DB I am using a central postgresql but I am looking to start using CNPG more.

New in Omni: On-ramp for Talos Linux clusters.
Centralizing infrastructure management shouldn't require a total rebuild of your current environment.
You can now bring established Talos Linux clusters into Omni via a single CLI command and immediately gain visibility and remote management capabilities while reducing the operational risk of manual cluster rebuilds.

New blog post! It has been long overdue, so I finally decided to publish a (simple) diagram of my home lab. I got to a point where I think I need to downsize a little bit, so it felt like a good point to document the current snapshot. I hope you can get some ideas out of it. Feel free to ask me any questions.

I've been working on the infrastructure for Launchpad023. Everything declaratively configured because servers should be cattle not pets.
I've put it up on Codeberg if anyone wants to take a look.

New in Talos Linux:
Out-of-memory handling can proactively identify and evict the relevant, resource-heavy application before it destabilizes the host. This reduces avoidable downtime and ensures the control plane and critical services remain operational.

The other parts that I will need to figure out:
- how does HA for the control plane work?
- probably turn the tf into a module || wrap w terragrunt to use other hardware too
- persistence and how to backup application data -

New blog post! I'm preparing some topology changes in my home lab, so I had to spin up a new Talos Linux control plane node on my Proxmox Cluster. As it already happened before, enabling secure boot required some manual setup. This blog post might help if want to do the same.
