#2I have what I feel is an irrational desire to build an RPi k8s cluster. I feel like I would be better served by a small x86 box, but something about having a real cluster really appeals to me.

#3I am going to print that xkcd and pin it above my desk.
Thanks for these articles. I once again realized I should really not do this (for now)

This is the future

Same! Its all about the cluster! I had a strong desire to build one of those PS3 clusters that were pretty wild years ago, but I couldn't convince my school they needed it.

I think many of us have the same feeling. I have a basic x86_64 home server that I keep dreaming of converting to a redundant cluster (x86_64 machines or rasberry pis, it probably doesn't matter).

#7As has become my habit lately, I'll chime in and say if you're interested in accessing your self-hosted services from the internet, IMO tunneling is the way to go: https://github.com/anderspitman/awesome-tunneling

#8This person sets his host names to Foundation Trilogy planet names. This is good stuff.

#9I've been looking into doing an SBC K8s cluster, but had my eyes on the ODroid N2+. Its big.LITTLE design with 4 high-performance cores and 2 low-performance ones would not only boost the compute capacity vs the RPi4, but also perhaps cgroups on the nodes could be configured such that pods only run on the 4 high-performance cores, leaving the 2 low-performance ones available for system daemons, kubelet, etc. The biggest drawback with the N2 is that it maxes out at 4GB of RAM, which might not be sufficient for the cluster master nodes. So maybe the master nodes could be 8GB RPi4s, while all the worker nodes are N2s.

I use chisel for dancing across firewalls and across Big Corp's (TM) network policies. Chisel is fantastic. It wraps an SSH tunnel for proxying TCP (or reverse proxying) in HTTP, which I expose over TLS.
