This is the perfect home server build for anyone who wanted to virtualize some machines while still staying green. This tiny, silent, and efficient build is one that won't drive up your electricity bill either.

The Turning Pi 2 comes with many improvements over the Turning Pi 1. This model ships with 32GB of RAM, SATA III interface, Raspberry Pi Compute module 4 support, and support for NVIDIA Jetson boards. This means that you can mix and match both raspberry Pis along with Nvidia Jetson boards. This gives us a ton of flexibility to be able to run Pis for general compute workloads, and then Nvidia Jetsons for AI or ML workloads. Join me as we explore the Turing Pi 2 and prepare its home inside of my HomeLab server rack.

That's why we made it easy. Today we'll set up a High Availability K3s cluster using etcd, MetalLB, kube-vip, and Ansible. We'll automate the entire process giving you an easy, repeatable way to create a k3s cluster that you can run at home in a few minutes.

This is a great way to set up Kubernetes in your HomeLab.

It's a little loud for my home. It would be fine if it were in a data center or a real network closet, however this is in my basement. I decided to swap out all the fans to make it quieter, and install RGB fans along with a ZigBee controller so I can control them with Home Automation!

After showing off my Home Lab hardware in my late 2022 tour, many of you asked what services are self-hosted in this stack. This is always a moving target so I decided it was time to share which services I am running here at home. Today, we walk through everything I am hosting including: Dashboard, Hypervisor, Virtualization, Containerization, Network Attached Storage (NAS), DNS, Network Management, Home Security, Kubernetes, Kubernetes Storage, Docker, Reverse Proxy, Certificates, Monitoring, Logging, Syncing Data, File Sharing, Link Page, Link Shortening, Home Entertainment, Home Automation, Battery / UPS Monitoring, CMS, Static Site Generators, Dynamic DNS, CI/CD, Git Ops, Dev Ops, and many, many others.

With Harvester you can create Linux, Windows, or any virtual machine that can be easily scaled and cluster giving your high availability virtual machines with a few clicks. It also gives you a platform to automatically create HA RKE1, RKE2, and K3S Kubernetes clusters with etcd along with the virtual machines it runs on. Now you can run virtual machines and kubernetes on the edge on one machine.
