My pleasure!

Thanks for watching!

Thanks, appreciate the feedback. I have a lot more planned after this series!

Thanks. Be sure to reach out if you have any issues.

Thanks, Louis. Coming soon!

Glad to help!

K3s is the perfect option for a homelab IMO

Thanks, you're welcome

You're welcome 😁

It's an awesome tool to learn even if you don't end up adopting it. Hopefully I can make it painless.

You're welcome 😁

Thanks, I really appreciate the support

Thanks. I'm also open to suggestions/improvements so let me know if you do something different/better.

Thanks, will be awesome to have people experimenting with kubernetes.

Thanks 👍

Thanks 👍

Thanks 👍

Thanks. Should have the next step up in a couple of days

Nice, it's a steep learning curve but well worth it IMO.

You're welcome!

Wow, thank you for the kind donation

You're welcome

Yeah, looking forward to doing it

It's more the knowledge than anything else. It is overkill for a homelab, but equally it can be useful in certain circumstances.

@@Jims-Garage Well i want failover for pfsense, but i think i need to do that with Pfsense, which seems to require an extra ethernet link between Pfsense instances. If i could do it with Kubernetes that would be a perfect usecase, i wonder if its possible, looking forward to your teachings, you explain things very clearly.

This should be in the Kubernetes playlist

Absolutely, you can jsut create new namespaces for each deployment and they'll be treated as independent (similar to just giving it a new name in Docker).

I'll have to check it out, I'm unfamiliar with it.

It does, however, it wasn't able to preserve the client source IP which is important for things like crowdsec and PiHole etc. Perhaps I'm doing something wrong?

@@Jims-Garage thank you for your fast as a modern rocket reply! Now I see the reason you switched to MetalLB. I noticed that too (seems like ServiceLB is doing SNAT) but didn't get to it at this moment. I'll try this later, now have some other stuff to learn but I think I'll probably will go another way with X-Forwarded-For header in NGINX Ingress Controller. Also I'd like to wish you a Merry Christmas!

@@mcdebugger thanks, you too.

@@Jims-Garage We have Christmas at Jan, 7th here in Russia but I'm very thankful for your greetings. Wishing you being happy and healthy!

Haha, fair enough! You can have a very simple single node Kubernetes deployment if all you want to do is learn.

Indeed, this video just convinced me to get a second node. A new Minisforum arrives today in time for a long weekend of fun! Thanks Jim for this amazing series🤓

@@weholmes5315 you're welcome, appreciate the feedback.

You're welcome. I've purposefully put the blocks of text on with the idea that people do pause to read. Otherwise it's just too much to discuss and I'd just be repeating some of the official docs. I'll bear it in mind though and see if I can improve.

@@Jims-Garage I don't mean the larger blocks of content or diagrams etc (e.g. 10:58). They can be really useful (and appreciated btw), I mean the smaller comments where you might be correcting something you are saying, or perhaps clarifying a point etc. Examples are 11:37, 11:52 - the comment at the bottom, 14:26 - comment about LB, 15:10 - text at the bottom. These are all good snippets of information but I find it distracting to have to try and read/comprehend the written text at the same time as listen/comprehend your spoken word - especially since they are often making slightly different points. Anyway, this is just my personal preference when learning and I'm sure there are others that prefer concurrent streams of information. I'm happy to continue pausing from time to time when the overall content is as good as this. Keep up the good work!

Check the video afterwards, my most recent.

I am exploring k8s as a new student but any video for promox that allow you to set up our 1st project, kubernaties with one master and one salve note , and with one demo project with that running on it,many videos as available but not a complete package

Not saying anyone should use it, but it's a great tool to learn. I see the benefits for my use case but for most Docker will be the right solution.

No point, it's just overcomplicating things in a home env.

@@PW-72648 Probably the same reason my neighbour buys 5000 piece Jigsaw puzzles...It's interresting.

K3s is stripped down version of k8s, but maintains all essential functionality. This helps reduce the system requirements for running it. The components are also all included in a single binary, making it much easier than k8s to set up. At least that's my understanding of why it's so popular.

@@angelgonzalez2379 Thanks! It looks like I'll have to move from Windows to Linux on my home server in order to follow this tutorial since k3s is for Linux. I don't mind though, since I suspect that kubernetes probably a lot slower on Windows, so I'll have to do it anyway sooner or later. Can't wait for other parts of the video
