local-path-provisioner

Wasn't aware of HomelabOS, looks pretty interesting! How is your Longhorn performing? I tried setting it up on my nodes but with Gigabit networking and possibly the Pis pretty average CPUs I would get pretty awful performance both in distributed volumes (with replicas etc) but also on strict-local ones (for reasons I haven't yet figured out). I am now considering using something like https://github.com/rancher/local-path-provisioner, since I mainly intend to use Longhorn for DBs that handle fault tolerance / backups etc on their own.

For simple test/home lab stuff, I’ve had success with this Local Path Provisioner: https://github.com/rancher/local-path-provisioner Just make sure to remember to set it as the default storage class.

Local Persistent Volumes though has been GA since 1.14 and I think entered beta in 1.10 or 1.12, it should be usable now I was just about to try to start using this, have you seen this article: https://vocon-it.com/2018/12/20/kubernetes-local-persistent-... The strategy seems to be to create a storage class per app and make sure each persistent volume claim binds a distinct storage class. It sounds like a lot of heavy lifting but it's just a few YAML files... the alternative seems to be https://github.com/rancher/local-path-provisioner which uses the same strategy under the hood to fulfill PVCs as they come online using the Local Persistent Volume strategy, but does not require the storageclass arrangement I understood from the tutorial linked before. If you want to use an SSD attached to only one special/master node, I don't think that's
