A Kubernetes Cluster @ Home

[Estimated Reading Time: 8 minutes] I set myself a new challenge for the New Year: Stand Up a Kubernetes cluster of my own. At home. I have reasons (long term costs being [potentially] lower than cloud-hosted alternatives being just one of them) but honestly since Kubernetes is a dominant presence in my day-to-day work these days, the main reason was that I was curious to learn more about it, and this seemed like a good way to do that.
