Digitale Souveränität fängt im Kleinen an. Statt nur abstrakte Cloud-Services zu konsumieren (Lego Duplo), baue ich mir meine Infrastruktur selbst (Fischertechnik).
Mit: Raspberry CM5, Uptime Blades, 3D-Druck & Lötkolben. Willkommen in der #RebelHomebase.
Im Blog erkläre ich das philosophische und technische „Warum“ hinter meinem Mini-Datacenter auf dem Schreibtisch.

It started with some Docker containers on a Raspberry Pi, then it was two Pis… now I run a two-node K8s cluster on some Intel NUCs with dedicated/ext. failover DNS. What a rabbit hole 😅
On the other hand you gain such a huge amount of devops an infrastructure knowledge - for me it was worth putting in weeks of effort. And you have a resilient base of hosting your services, that noone can just take away or up subscription pricing.
I am currently writing multiple posts about it. Will publish the first one soon.
Finally I found time to write down some insights into my #homelab, #selfhosting adventures and how I run things unconnected to big tech platforms.
A general look insight can be found here https://www.codedge.de/hlab/
If you want to read some technical details about some inner workings, follow my article series around my homelab look here https://www.codedge.de/tags/hlab/
I am going to write some more in-depth articles in the next couple of days.
Continuing on my homelab summer series: I overengineered my homelab because I don't want to pay cloud providers.
I could just install k3s on my server, but I'm installing a hypervisor instead. Not only does it give me more stability and flexibility, it also lets me experiment without putting my production at risk.
Also, I don't want to end up with a massive cloud bill.

Me in March: "k3s sounds like a fun toy, I'll play with it a bit"
Me in July, emerging from the homelab rabbit hole with my hands full of VMs, clusters and services of all kinds:
