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.

I recently contributed to talos-backup to ensure the post-quantum encryption cypher in Age was supported. I've got that running successfully too
With Kubernetes, got my eyes on mutating admission policies, user namespaces and oci volumes.
With Talos Linux, I'm keen on container image signature verification, bootstrap manifests and cdi.
✅ Latest Talos Linux (v1.13.0)
✅ Latest Kubernetes (v1.36.0)
✅ Happy Home Lab
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.

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.

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.
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. 👏
