Homelab Kubernetes Cluster

My homelab running K3S on a Turing Pi 2

Nodes setup using Ansible

Create the cluster using Ansible:

1. Go to ansible/inventory and change the controlplane and workers IP addresses.
2. Go to ansible/playbooks/playbook-worker.yml and change the controlplane IP (line 36).
3. Go to ansible/variables.yml and add your k3s token.
4. Run this command at the root folder:

This command runs the k3s installation script with specific options to disable several components including flannel backend, network policy, cloud controller, servicelb, traefik, metrics-server, and kube-proxy in preparation to install Cilium.

ansible-playbook -i ansible/inventory ansible/playbook.yml --user=<YOUR-USER> --ask-pass -vvv
