Cloud Native Home Lab
summary
Claim: production-grade infrastructure like Canonical MAAS and k3s runs on a few desktops and boots via PXE/UEFI, TFTP and cloud-init. Implementation uses MaaS, k3s and a dockerized Task Server with TLS, a local path PV and k3s cluster on two System76 “meerkkat” boxes. The provisioning flow uses rackd/regiond, curtin for installs and cloud-init for first-boot config; the result is a reproducible home lab that successfully syncs Taskwarrior clients.
