🚀 I recently published a guide on Subnet Savy walking through how to build a production-style Kubernetes cluster using Raspberry Pi devices. If you're into self-hosting, homelabs, or edge computing, this one's for you.

🔧 What’s covered:

  • Setting up Raspberry Pi OS (64-bit)

  • Installing K3s or MicroK8s

  • Best SSDs & USB adapters for Pi storage

  • Networking with Tailscale, MetalLB & Ingress

  • Monitoring with Grafana & Prometheus

  • Recommended gear (cluster shelves, PoE, cooling)

  • Backups, power tips, and more

🧠 Why it matters: Running K8s on ARM has gotten a lot easier. This guide walks through building a lean, secure, and observable cluster you can actually use—for CI/CD pipelines, remote dev, or just for fun.

💬 I’d love feedback on the setup. Got suggestions? Alternative builds? Drop them here or hit me up on the site.

Happy hacking!
