Migrating and Rebuilding My RKE2 Kubernetes Cluster on Proxmox
Here’s the link to my previous blog post on this journey: https://phuchoang.sbs/posts/terraform-ansible-proxmox-k8s/
Over the past few days, I tried deploying an RKE2 Kubernetes cluster on my home Proxmox setup. My initial setup worked, but it quickly became apparent that things weren’t stable or sustainable. RKE2’s auto-deployment behavior, the embedded etcd database, and service load balancing all caused performance and manageability issues. It wasn’t “buggy” in the literal sense, but definitely felt rigid and inefficient — not something I would consider a best-practice deployment for a long-term homelab setup.
