    Sell the expensive minisforum pc, buy 3 used laptops, use github.com/onedr0p/cluster-template

    Done! Full GitOps bare metal Talos kubernetes cluster that runs your workloads so much faster than any VM.

    A few months later, you can have this:

    github.com/fhoekstra/home-ops

    Automated encrypted backups that automatically populate your volumes when you completely reset the entire cluster.

    Rook-ceph shared storage.

    Auth stack + Anubis botblocker to protect public-facing endpoints.

    I guess I should start a blog.

      This seems super cool. I’ll have to look into this more later and see how I could use this with my infrastructure

    I ran into the same issue when setting up encrypted Proxmox. They have a very good guide for that in their wiki, but for some reason I rebooted before setting up the bridge and couldn’t get it back up until figuring it out.
