   @jgkawell @True
   Now imagine trying to figure that out on a public cloud provider, where you barely have access to the control nodes. 😔

     @True this is why I love homelabbing. I learn so much more than just reading about things.

     Okay, I have spent like two weeks banging my head against some problems with Kubernetes stuff.

     I marched through error after error, troubleshooting as I went.
     I learned way too much about OSI Layer 2 ARP announcements, BGP, and networking in general.
     No need to sacrifice anything to the eldritch networking powers, except my time and sanity...
     But the final issue was TLS pass-thru on my k8s Cilium ingress.
     It was a pain that took me a whole *DAY* to figure out why my Kibana service returned an empty response--the ingress was sending HTTP to an HTTPS only endpoint, eugh.

     I have learned so much just by having a #HomeLab and doing things for real.
     This is a #Proxmox cluster running Talos Linux and provisioned with #OpenToFu and #Ansible and it's nice when it all works.

     But it's also like a puzzle that stays difficult the whole time.
