JenniferplusplusProjects I would like to do:
1. Personal search engine
2. C# mastodon
3. Automated bare metal k8s cluster
Things I am spending my time on:
1. scrolling
2. deleting old useless files so one drive will stop whining
Scott Galloway@jenniferplusplus Funny enough I've been playing with microk8s and an old 1L office PC cluster where I run OpenSearch :)
@jenniferplusplus Just because I like showing off my sub-£500 homelab cluster I recently built :)
@scottgal that is more or less my exact plan, down to running it on thinkcentres
@jenniferplusplus Get the least storage/ no storage. Of these 4 supplied SSDs failed rather quickly.
@jenniferplusplus I got it to learn how to do this stuff with physical machines. Even the disk failures told me a lot about what to look for / how stuff like local host file storage is a problem etc. Still a total noob (Helm still terrifies me) but learning!
@scottgal Yeah. If I wind up doing this seriously, I would want little to no storage on the compute nodes, and handle storage as its own dedicated concern. I would even want to explore a zero storage arrangement by network booting those nodes.
@jenniferplusplus Well I'll be following anything you post on how to do that with great interest :)
@scottgal I wouldn't hold your breath. I doubt it would be any time soon.
