We made some maintenance upgrades to our Kubernetes cluster for our instance.

It was mostly smooth sailing. Enjoy!

When creating a Talos Linux based kubernetes cluster it is important to give your Talos nodes unique names. Giving two the same name makes it not work ๐Ÿ˜…

๐Ÿงต Today, I learned about NAT collision in my Kubernetes cluster with wireguard (kubespan) to mesh the network between my home nodes and edge node.

#Kubernetes As a Service (KAAS) in #Proxmox: The purpose of this lab to demonstrate capabilities of #Talos Linux, Sidero (#CAPI), #FluxCD & #Proxmox #Operator, and how they can be used to provision #k8s clusters in a true #GitOps way.

So currently I generate my Talos configs via Terraform, but tbh that system is a bit more brittle than I'd like.

The idea was I could integrate the Talos config generation with other terraform, but in practice, no not really viable for my setup.

I don't trust terraform to not explode the rook cluster in particular

What do people like for templating Talos configs? Talm? Talhelper?

2026 starts well, I switched at least 5 machines to #linux and hopefully saved them from scrapheaps, so far:
- Microsoft #SurfacePro4 running #Debian 13
- a donated #MacBookAir2015, running #Ubuntu 24.04 (for now)
- 3x Asus #Chromebox 3's (2x hw upgraded to 16GB mem), my homelab, atm running #Talos (specialized #Kubernetes distro), on #MrChromebox BIOS
- ancient Chromebooks (2x) allready on Debian, but now switched to MrChromebox
#switchedtolinux

I resist the urge to boast about #nix superiority when someone brags about creating a highly non-deterministic, fragile script for #ansible #docker or #podman .

Even when writing private code, I strive for reproducibility with Nix.

I oppose the unreliability of other solutions.

In the #talos and Nix communities, we aim to make it work natively everywhere.

Is that wrong?

It is disheartening to me that presenting an objectively superior solution can often be perceived as confrontational.

Well... I have setup my demo lab on cheap mini pc and mikrotik router without much preparation in maybe 2 hours.

now tune the scripts, maybe throw in terraform/tofu instead of semi-manual vm creation (talos is installed automatically via PXE)
