I Built a Home Kubernetes Lab with Raspberry Pis — Here's Everything I Learned

Hey Devs 👋

Over the past few months, I’ve gone down the home lab rabbit hole — and ended up building a fully functional Kubernetes cluster using Raspberry Pis, SSDs, open source tools, and a bunch of trial-and-error.

I created SubnetSavy.com to share what I learned along the way. If you’ve ever wanted to run your own infrastructure from home (instead of renting it from AWS), this might be for you.

What I cover:
🖥️ Setting up Kubernetes on Raspberry Pi 4 and 5
💾 Choosing the best SSDs and storage gear for long-term reliability
🔐 Building a zero-trust network using Tailscale
📦 Deploying apps with Helm and automating infra with Terraform
📊 Monitoring your cluster with Grafana, Prometheus, and alerts
🌐 Managing DNS, Load Balancing, Ingress, and ExternalDNS
🚀 Hands-on gear reviews for networking, cooling, power, and more

This isn't a "hello world" Kubernetes blog. It's focused on practical, tested guides — with affiliate-supported gear picks to help others build smarter.
