New homelab setup
Dear homelab community, I recently did a pretty good deal on 3 mini pc’s. I have 2 HP Prodesk 400 G4’s (16GB Ram & I5 7500T & 128GB NVME in each) and a Lenovo ThinkCentre M910q (8GB Ram & I5 7500T & 128GB NVME).
Now this is the perfect opportunity to start homelabbing I think.
I already have some pretty good kubernetes experience from my day to day job, but it’s only with Azure and AWS equivalents. So I’d like to try and set one up at home. This way I can hone in my skills but also play with stuff I can’t do at my job.
Thing is, some people recommend setting up proxmox and than running a kubernetes cluster inside that witch seems like an ok approach essentially for backups and easily adding new nodes etc.
Now I want to ask you guys’ opinions, does it sound like an okay approach or would you recommend just kubernetes or just proxmox?
And for the people that run kubernetes on proxmox vm’s; do you create 1 big VM with all the resources acting as 1 node or do you split your pc into 2 or more vm’s acting as nodes and why?
For context, idk if it matters but I’d like to actually setup the ARR stack, with pi-hole/adguard, authentik but I’d like to do it with ArgoCD and play with some features of ArgoCD I haven’t played with yet. Seems like a pretty OP/overkill setup for this purpose but it gives me flexibility to do whatever I want and I like that.
Thank you guys in advance, hope you all have a wonderful day :)
