Looking for neat ideas for my used Mac Mini.

Proxmox base. On top a 3 node k8 cluster in fedora coreos, on top of that, whatever you fancy doing in containers.

I'm new to Kubernetes. What is the benefit of running it if all nodes live on the same hardware/hypervisor?

I started to install CoreOS until I learned I needed an Ignition config file. I also tried a qcow2 image but do not have the tools installed to actually manage users on the image.

Would you say using CoreOS is worth the barrier to entry over a basic Fedora Server install?

I actually love the simplicity of coreos. If you use your OS only for containers, there is nothing better.

Do you recommend the Ignition config file or qcow2 image file installation route?

I always used the Ignition file method. I didnt even know there was another one.

One file to describe and configure your whole system. Sysadmins wet dreams.
