Description

This project involves building a lightweight K3s Kubernetes cluster in my homelab to gain hands-on experience with container orchestration, distributed services, and persistent storage. I planned the environment around multiple nodes, containerized workloads, and services that can later scale beyond local Docker testing. I explored how deployments, services, ingress, environment variables, secrets, and persistent volume claims work together to run applications reliably. I also designed the cluster with Longhorn storage in mind, allowing container data such as PostgreSQL databases to persist across nodes instead of being lost when a pod or container restarts.
