Kubernetes homelab tour after 3 years — here's every app, every cluster, and the exact hardware running it all. See how a real production-style setup works, from Talos Linux and Cilium networking to CloudNativePG databases and AI-powered GitOps. Built for self-learners who want hands-on proof of enterprise skills.

This isn't just a show-and-tell. This lab runs a personal blog, self-hosted Git, quantified self dashboards, automated infrastructure updates, and 12 live Postgres clusters. Every tool here mirrors what engineering teams use in production — which is exactly the point.

A detailed walkthrough of a 3-year Kubernetes homelab built on cheap refurbished hardware (HP EliteDesks, Lenovo ThinkCentres). The setup uses Talos Linux as an immutable OS, two clusters (one for stateful/database workloads, one for stateless apps), Cilium for eBPF-based networking, FluxCD for GitOps, and CloudNativePG for running 12 PostgreSQL clusters. Applications running include Forgejo (self-hosted Git), n8n for AI-assisted PR automation, Miniflux RSS reader with AI content scoring, Grafana/Prometheus monitoring, Uptime Kuma, and various self-hosted productivity tools. The homelab is framed as a career asset for landing DevOps jobs by demonstrating hands-on enterprise-grade skills.

This kubernetes homelab setup is my favorite one yet.

<p>I’d be burnt on a stake for saying overkill?</p>
