I’ve been experimenting with running Talos in my home lab. I really like the idea of an immutable OS layer under Kubernetes and wanted to stand up a cluster to run some of my services that are currently run in docker-compose. I decided to use my Synology to store k8s volumes, here’s how I set that up ...
So here’s a fun macOS weirdness I ran into this weekend where I couldn’t connect to a port on another machine from a shell session inside of iTerm, even though I was able to ssh to other hosts. ...
Motivation I wanted to ensure any data I put into my ARM k3s cluster is backed up to prevent data loss. I no longer recommend duplicacy. Instead, read my article on restic backups on TrueNas instead. ...

I realized I forgot to include a parts list for the cluster in my ARM cluster post (all prices are as of March 3rd, 2019), so here we go. ...
