  • Due to time and energy i tend to an out of the box, non OSS solution.

    Why not both? OPNsense and pfSense both sell official hardware.

    Both are pretty easy to configure but have pretty much no limit on how deep you can go.

    Unifi works great as well but you hit a ceiling fairly quickly if it needs to do anything advanced.







  • Definitely go with K3s instead of K8s if you want to go the Kubernetes route. K8s is a massive pain in the ass to setup. Unless you want to learn about it for work I would avoid it for homelab usage.

    I currently run Docker Swarm nodes on top of LXCs in Proxmox. Pretty happy with the setup except that I can’t get IPv6 to work in Docker overlay networks and the overlay network performance leaves things to be desired.

    I previously used Rancher to run Kubernetes but I didn’t like the complexity it adds for pretty much no benefit. I’m currently looking into switching to K3s to finally get my IPv6 stack working. I’m so used to docker-compose files that it’s hard to get used to the way Kubernetes does things though.
