I noticed bc I live very east and in general I’m off by one day in the other direction x)
I had two problems with my gitops setup:
- Longhorn would fail to deploy, some container creation timeout and crashed on repeat for hours for unknown reason.
- I never managed to have a working ingress neither using the built in Treafik, nor adding it afterwards.
Probably skill issue in both case, but the trial and error was slow and annoying, so I figured I would just upgrade my Ansible setup instead.

Sunday
What’s good, Kiribati ? 🇰🇮
I made some effort recently to try and set a K3S cluster with Flux but my bunch of RPi are just not powerful enough for that (never managed to deploy Longhorn). I’m moving to a more reasonable Docker Swarm with Ansible.

Maybe trying with some Raspberry Pis for your services (takes up less space, low power) and building a dedicated machine for the NAS, as suggested by @hodgepodgin@lemmy.zip, but that’s a whole different budget.
Otherwise, maybe going for some mini-pcs, more recent second-hand PCs (stronger CPU for video encoding) or just more RAM and more disks.
I guess the final price will depend on what exact machine you can get your hands on.

Nice project!
Given the tight budget, here is what I would do, especially if you are not too constraint by space and don’t mind a few extra watts of power consumption. The Raspberry Pi are getting expensive, and the 200USD will barely get you a RPi5 nowadays. You said there is no market for you for second hand sever hw, but I’m guessing it should not be too hard to get used office desktop PCs.
- Get two of these. Maybe Optiplex or Thinkstation. You can probably get something decent <50USD each.
- Get two small SATA SSDs for the OS (128 - 256GB), around 30USD each.
- Get your storage drives. You should get 3 of them so you can have ZFS raid redundancy.
- On one machine, install TrueNAS and your storage drives. Default RAM is probably enough.
- On the other one, upgrade the RAM to 8 or 16 GB (~50USD), install your favorite Linux distro, and you can run your services, accessing the storage with NFS!
To me it feels safer (against my own mess-up) to separate the storage and the services, plus this setup is fairly upgradable. You’ll probably have space to add more storage drives, even maybe a cache SSD; increase the RAM; add a third machine etc.
Of course it’s just one idea, maybe other another layout might fit your use-case better, idk.
Good luck!

Thanks for the detailed reply! You’re not the first to mention gitops for k8s, it seems interesting indeed, I’ll be sure to check it!
- Comment on From Docker with Ansible to k3s: I don't get it... 3 months ago:
I see, that makes sense actually! Thanks for the message!
I saw the landscape website before, that’s a LOT of projects! =O
- Comment on From Docker with Ansible to k3s: I don't get it... 3 months ago:
My goal is to have a k3s cluster as a deployment env and try and run the services I’m already using. I don’t need to have any advance load balancing, I just want pods to be restarted if one of my machine stops.

How about I’ll do anyway? <3

Wow that’s a lot of detail and information ! Thank you so much for taking the time to write all of this !
For the note taking part, it should be okay, I’m putting everything in my org-roam notes, including my current Ansible setup and my microOS combustion script!
For the rest, I’ll need to try it step by step; at the moment I think my problem is actually how to access the services with Traefik, I guess it will be an important step once I’ll figure it out.
Thanks again for the help!
