I’ve been working on something exciting lately - a guide about building a Kubernetes cluster from scratch using Raspberry Pi devices! 🚀

My journey with Kubernetes

A while back, I decided to build my own Kubernetes cluster at home. I wanted to learn more about how these systems work in practice, and what better way than to build one from scratch? I chose Raspberry Pi devices because they’re affordable and perfect for learning - plus, they make for a great home lab project!

What I’ve learned

Throughout this journey, I’ve documented everything from hardware setup to cluster configuration. The guide covers:

  • Building a high-availability cluster with Raspberry Pi nodes
  • Setting up the control plane and worker nodes
  • Managing storage and container images
  • Keeping things secure and monitored

Who might find this useful?

I wrote this guide thinking about people like me who want to learn Kubernetes hands-on. It’s particularly helpful if you’re:

  • A developer curious about how Kubernetes works in practice
  • Someone interested in building a home lab
  • A student looking to learn about container orchestration
  • Anyone who wants to understand cluster management from the ground up

Check it out!

As always, I’m sharing this guide freely with the community. If you find it helpful, I’d appreciate your support as a GitHub Sponsor or by sharing it with others who might benefit from it.
