I’m looking for experiences and opinions on kubernetes storage.
I want to create a highly available homelab that spans 3 locations where the pods have a preferred locations but can move if necessary.
I’ve looked at linstore or seaweedfs/garage with juicefs but I’m not sure how well the performance of those options is across the internet and how well they last in long term operation. Is anyone else hosting k3s across the internet in their homelab?
Edit: fixed wording
That isn’t how you would normally do it
You don’t want to try and span locations on a Container/hypervisor level. The problem is that there is likely to much latency between the sites which will screw with things. Instead, set up replicated data types where it is necessary.
What are you trying to accomplish from this?
The problem is that I want failover to work if a site goes offline, this happens quite a bit with private ISP where I live and instead of waiting for the connection to be restored my idea was that kubernetes would see the failed node and replace it.
Most data will be transfered locally (with node affinity) and only on failure would the pods spread out. The problem that remained in this was storage which is why I’m here looking for options.
