So I have rebuilt my Production rack with very little in terms of an actual software plan.
I host mostly docker contained services (Forgejo, Ghost Blog, OpenWebUI, Outline) and I was previously hosting each one in their own Ubuntu Server VM on Proxmox thus defeating the purpose.
So I was going to run a VM on each of these Thinkcentres that worked as a Kubernetes Cluster and then ran everything on that. But that also feels silly since these PCs are already Clustered through Proxmox 9.
I was thinking about using LXC but part of the point of the Kubernetes cluster was to learn a new skill that might be useful in my career and I don't know how this will work with Cloudflared Tunnels which is my preferred means of exposing services to the internet.
I'm willing to take a class or follow a whole bunch of "how-to" videos, but I'm a little frazzled on my options. Any suggestions are welcome.
Side question…looks like you got the desk pi tower with the raspberry pi rack. Did you figure out what the holes on the side for with that (not sure what it is) expansion slot(looks like you put your labels over it)? Not sure what’s it for…
Yes! They sell a NVME hat that I assume is for the Pi5 (these are 4's I had laying around). It also moves the HDMI and USBC to the front.
Its the RS-P11 Expansion board. I can only find it bundled with the normal rack mount kit. I got mine off newegg from a reseller I guess so no expansion boards.
