I've been running all my apps on my NAS as docker containers, but some get 'stuck' occasionally, requiring a reboot of the whole machine. Using the NAS was mostly out of convenience.

I also had an old laptop running k3s, hosting a few stateless services.

This week I picked up three Wyse 5070 devices and started setting up a more permanent Kubernetes cluster. I decided to use Talos Linux, which is a steep learning curve, but should hopefully reduce the amount of ongoing work for upgrades. I'll be deploying everything with FluxCD this time around too.

I've stumbled a bit with the synology-csi-driver. It didn't work with Talos out of the box, but turns out the latest commits have a fix. The only thing remaining before I can start porting the apps over is figuring out how to spin up a new CA and generate client certificates for mTLS. I currently do that in Vault but it seems like something cert-manager could handle going forward.

I also just setup a cluster using Talos!

I've never used kubernetes before, but decided it was time to learn so I picked up 4x HP EliteDesk Mini systems and dove in.
