Using k3s on Raspberry Pi: Introduction

Background

I’m taking a few days to play with Kubernetes. Since I have a stack of Raspberry Pi 2s otherwise doing nothing, I decided to use them. I started with Scott Hanselman’s How to Build a Kubernetes Cluster with ARM Raspberry Pi then run .NET Core on OpenFaas blog post.

I’m not going to bother with the .NET Core / OpenFaas stuff yet, but here’s how I got on.

• Using k3s on Raspberry Pi: Introduction (this post)
• Using k3s on Raspberry Pi: Hardware
• Using k3s on Raspberry Pi: Installing Raspbian
• Using k3s on Raspberry Pi: Installing k3s
• Using k3s on Raspberry Pi: Installing nginx
• Using k3s on Raspberry Pi: Private Docker
• Using k3s on Raspberry Pi: node.js Server
• Using k3s on Raspberry Pi: Phoenix Server
