Homelab Kubernetes Cluster

Overview

A personal Kubernetes cluster built on repurposed hardware. The goal is to learn container orchestration hands-on and eventually run all my self-hosted services on it — no more one-app-per-VM.

Hardware

Placeholder — to be filled in once the nodes are finalized.

What’s running

• Flux CD for GitOps — cluster state lives in a Git repo, changes reconcile automatically.
• Placeholder services — to be added as the cluster grows.

What I learned

Kubernetes has a steep learning curve but the mental model clicks once you stop fighting YAML and start reading the docs bottom-up. More notes to come.
