"Kubernetes is overkill for a Home Lab", exhibit 493 (made up number): I'm trying to make Pi-Hole egress to the internet via the loadbalancer IP, rather than the node IP (default). To do that, I need to implement Cilium Egress Gateway, which is horribly complicated, and will be used for a one-off. But if I don't do so, I need to review all my firewall rules, which only allow very few IP addresses in my network to query external DNS servers. Ugh. I'm starting to reconsider my sanity. What am I getting myself into?  

Edit: nothing like a good night of sleep. I found a solution using traffic policies in my router, so I no longer need the complexity of the k8s egress gateway. 👍

@badnetmask @homelab yeah, I've been looking at an egress gateway for routing traffic from a whole namespace via a wireguard pod and I had a gander at the calico docs and... Nope, gonna play with other homelab challenges until the pain from this is sufficient to take a second look at egress gateway 🤣
