  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.

    That sounds neat!

    I’ve always read the performance hit of a VM is pretty minimal, like 1% or less on most tasks. Is it really that much faster for you?

      I’m not actually sure because I haven’t measured it. But I’ve read that while CPU and memory overhead is small, disk IO is much faster without virtualization.

    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.

  Having stuff at home is awesome, but if you’re doing anything with data you care about, it’s a really good idea to have offsite backups. I’ve seen someone lose years of work because a flood killed their computer and their backups.
