  1. Finally upgraded my @homelab to #TalosLinux + #flux operator in #gitless mode.

    Far from perfect but super easy to manage it wrapping talosctl in a Makefile and using #terraform for resourcesets definitions.

  6. 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.

  11. RE: hachyderm.io/@badnetmask/11590

    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.

  16. 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.

  21. 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. 👏

  26. RE: hachyderm.io/@badnetmask/11578

    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.

  31. @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.

  36. 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 routing

    Ditch the hypervisor tax. ⚡

  37. @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 updated

    I 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.

  47. 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.
