This is a personal collection of things I find around the internet.
Alright, so somehow you found this place. Here's what to expect:
Due to the nature of this place, you may find a bunch of stuff that you don't care about, but you may also find a new passion.
So, the gist is, this is a place where I'll share random things, and you'll discover the internet with me.
Oh yeah, I didn't advertise this place anywhere, so hey, how did you even get here?
Check out the sister sub where you discover music with me! [email protected]
I don't think you can realistically get good performance out of multiple vms on reasonable consumer hardware. 1 kernel per cpu.
Containers are great for server management though. Even if you aren't using a cluster, its great to be able to stand up multiple instnaces of your services, and use kubernetes for I guess controllers to admin a lot of traffic.
Yup, real hardware to logical to virtual to logical again, its big unnessary steps.
Without the vm its real hardware to logical With a container, its real hardware to logical to another logical (way easier)
I had a few machines lying around and I took it too far I guess.
I use Kubernetes (K3s) for bunch of services and a very small mini PC as a jump host. I use wake on lan to bring up my cluster on demand for the duration I need it and then shut it down to save power.
The mini PC has bunch of containers running including 'blocky' which basically is a software pi-hole without the pi.
Before all this though I used to use proxmox and let me tell you containers are the way to go. It has been super easy to set things up and in general way easier to manage everything.
I use ansible for basically automating everything.
I don't know how useful this is for you but here you go. https://github.com/uknth/homelab
