I recently set up a small 3-node Kubernetes homelab using Dell OptiPlex Micro PCs running Talos Linux.

The main goal was to have a local cluster where I can learn, experiment, break things, and test tools without relying on cloud infrastructure every time. I’m planning to use it for Kubernetes networking, storage, observability, GitOps, security, upgrades, and general experimentation.

Small setup, but already a very useful playground.

Curious what others here are running for their Kubernetes homelabs.
