  • 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.


  • Thanks for the info!

    I’ll try Rook-Ceph, Ceph has been recommended quite a lot now, but my nvme drives sadly don’t have PLP. Afaict that should still work because not all nodes will face power loss at the same time.

    I’d rather start with the hardware I have and upgrade as necessary, backups are always running for emergency cases and I can’t afford to replace all hard drives.

    I’ll join Home Operations and see what infos I can find




  • It’s fine if the bottleneck is upload/download speed, there’s no easy way around that.
    The other problems like high latency or using more bandwith than is required are more my fear. Maybe local read cache or stuff like that can be a solution too but that’s why I’m asking for what is in use and what works vs what is better reserved for dedicated networks.
