What are people using for storage on their resource constrained home #kubernetes clusters (lab)?
Currently using longhorn for ease of use. But would like lighter and even simpler. Need all nodes to access shared data. NFS could work, but heard bad things. Don’t see a lot of good info on s3 compatible. I imagine smb would suck. I’m sure I’ll stay where I am. But lazy google I guess. (Even though I have been) #k8s #storage #homelab

@bashfulrobot I actually use SMB. It does suck, but not quite as bad as you’d think.

@bashfulrobot I don’t have anything running that requires fast I/o though.

@Marcus @bashfulrobot SMB only sucks if you start to get fancy with authentication and encryption. The basics are easy.

@Marcus Curious. Why did you pick it?

@bashfulrobot I already had a NAS set up with a huge amount of storage. I didn’t want to have to get more storage as my cluster is just made up of a bunch of old Mac Minis. The only thing I had to change was Minio. I moved that off my cluster to a dedicated VM with its own storage as was seeing too much of a bottleneck.

@Marcus Minio is a backup target I assume?

@bashfulrobot I use it as the long term storage for my Loki logs. That’s all.
