Hardware
My current server is housed in a small 10 in 4U server rack that fits snuggly under my desk. Each component is housed in a 3D printed bracket. The current configuration has a 3D printed patch panel, switch, and compute node.

Main Compute Node
I am running Proxmox on my main compute node as a general purpose hypervisor. There is a few utility LXC containers such as piHole for DNS and Tailscale to access my home network from anywhere.
Kubernetes Services
My main goal with this iteration of my homelab is to deepen my understanding of Kubernetes while adopting GitOps practices to manage my environment. With FluxCD, I can version-control my manifests in Git, making it simple to deploy and update services.
