A pretty minimal K3s setup deployed on 2 RPi4 nodes. I couldn t continue with this setup because:
Some of the apps didn t have ARM-based image (this was 2019, pre M1 hype era).
Didn t want to risk deploying persistent workloads on RPi.
A lot of tooling to deploy workloads was missing (storing env variables for eg.).
It was so boring to write YAML (that I also did at work). Didn t give me joy.
RPi 2x Nodes + K3s + DO Droplet. Tailscale for networking.
This was a considerable step up from the previous setup. I deployed a DO node and added Node Labels to deploy persistent workloads on DO Node only.
