If this can handle routing 10g this is a great choice to use as a router. It’s actually quite difficult to find a gateway that’s around this price and ISPs (at least here in Canada, or my part of Canada) are offering internet over 1Gbps at the same price as gigabit, but their routers are awful.
Have you tried playing with the flow control settings on your ubiquiti switch? I was having problems streaming video games until I toggled that setting (forget if it was on or off, though).
A lot of people thought this was the case for VMs and docker as well, and now it seems to be the norm.
Hah. What prompted this post was I actually just discovered ventoy and was looking for more images to put on there.
It seems like it can even do a Windows one for when I need to do odd 3rd party firmware update that of course doesn’t support Linux.
Yeah as long as the URL has some unguessable hash I’d be okay with this, I’ll look into this.
I mean it has longhorn and NFS storage providers, k8s would just be for the services cause it’s easy to deploy and manage.
I’ve not looked, but I’m trying to look for something with an external DB next time I think.
Note that for Prometheus I think an SSD is practically required. It does not perform well with the eMMC, you’ll just get a lot of timeouts.
The problem I have here is that it’s expensive (and takes up space/power) to run a router that can handle 10gbe – my uplink is 3gbe right now. So it’s either shell out for a beefier router, or work around it.
A lot of the IPs are virtual, e.g. services on metallb, and my home is littered with wi-fi smart-home devices, each requiring their own ipv4.
Before all this I had my own router which allowed me to change the subnet, but after “upgrading” my router, it hard-codes the subnet it dishes out to be a /24. So on my LAN, with my current router, I can only feasibly support a /24 subnet on ipv4.
The real kicker is if I could disable the DHCP server, I could run my own, but my ISP’s router software does not have that setting.
Well, first lesson I just learned is that github.com apparently doesn’t have an ipv6 address, so you’ll need something like nat64:
K8s is just a huge abstraction over your clusters, the real question is if the software/containers support HA.
I guess it’s finally to the point where selfhosters can admit to using k8s and not be bombarded by comments saying it’s overkill, which has happened in the past for:
Anyway, I believe there is a tool also to turn docker compose files into k8s manifests if we want to take this a step further!
