Kubernetes on my own hardware
An RKE2 Kubernetes cluster on my own hardware that runs my products in production: Faktigo, tailforge.de, a mail server, the elementar-rt demos and this site.
Public traffic arrives at a small VPS and travels through an L2TP/IPsec tunnel to a MikroTik router on the home network. Behind it an nginx ingress routes requests to the services in the cluster.
Jenkins builds every project as a container image and pushes it to the registry. Helm charts and manifests are versioned in a separate infrastructure repository. New sites like this one go to a preview first and only go live after a manual approval.
The cluster is my training ground for operations: high availability, storage, certificates, mail delivery and networking. I am currently going deeper on the networking side with the CCNA series.
