I'm currently researching how to setup a homelab and potential hardware purchases. One thing that I'm wondering is how kubernetes nodes are run in the real world, on physical hardware or virtual machines? I'm trying to figure out if I should first learn to use proxmox to create VMs / LXC containers and then use those containers to install Kubernetes nodes and will this be applicable in the real world.

Hey all! Just started my DevOps journey. I’m currently following Mischa van den Burg’s Udemy course to get my hands dirty. Looking forward to learning from this community and would appreciate any tips you have for a beginner. Thanks

Hi, i ordered 3 x Lenovo M710Q mini i5 7th generation 16GB RAM 256 GB SSD for my homelab. I also have a Raspberry Pi 5 8GB which is not in use currently. Does it make sense to setup the Raspi as k8s controlplane and use the 3 Lenovos as workers or is the Raspi underpowered for that? Or is it better to setup only the 3 Lenovos for k8s (1x controlplane & 2x workers)? Thanks for your insights Chris

Hey everyone! I’m starting my Linux journey as a total beginner—does anyone have a "must-know" tip or a favorite resource they wish they had when they first started?

Is it worth starting a k8 cluster using Ubuntu or Arch linux?
