After some #procrastination and a long time working on it, here is the promised blog post about my experiences, tips, tricks and troubles on HOW TO BUILD YOUR HOME LAB:
From an over-engineered #kubernetes approach to a simplified #docker #architecture .
As usual, any #feedback is more than welcome.

@android10 That's awesome, thanks for sharing :D. I was thinking on doing something similar myself, but I was totally thinking on using Docker and not even looking at Kubernetes. Among other things because I don't know anything about it, and I've heard enough people saying it's overkill for most projects that I don't even want to spend any time learning it.
@noeldemartin yes! I would say, start simple and move towards complexity whenever you need (if you actually need it).
My attempt with `k3s` was mostly for learning purpose as the article establishes.
Good luck with the project, it is an exciting journey. Do not forget to share it :). I'm around if there is anything I can do to help
@android10 Awesome, thanks!
I always share what I'm doing here :) https://noeldemartin.com/now
@android10 I'm curious about something though. You're using Synology for file syncing (first time I hear about it). Did you consider NextCloud or do you have any reasons why it's better/worse? That's the one I'm thinking on using :) In particular, I'm thinking on having a hybrid cloud/homelab setup (most files in the homelab, some folders synced across cloud/local). Not sure if it even makes sense, but that's the idea I have in mind at the moment.
