Right after installing k3s you are going to need to use sudo to use any kubectl command. The reason for this is that the default config is owned by root. To get around this you will need to make your own config and set the KUBECONFIG environment variable
To do this I used sudo one last time to copy the k3s.yaml file into my own directory and take ownership of it.
I recently spun up k3s in my homelab. I’m trying to offload some work off of my free tier fly.io app in order to keep it free tier without crashing.
# install and start k3s curl -sfL https://get.k3s.io | sh - # check to see if your nodes are started sudo kubectl get nodes
My main hiccup so far was the machine I am running on runs zfs on root, and it would not start the master node. Rather than figuring out how to make zfs play nice I just pointed k3s to a drive that is not zfs.
In my adventure to put more homelab in docker, I moved our modded minecraft setup to docker.
So far I have found all of our mods from curse forge. modpacks make getting multiple mods working together much easier, someone else has already vetted a pack of often times 100+ mods that all play well together. I have yet to get these working in docker, I will, but for not I just have individual mods.
under the hood docker is using wget to get the mod. The link you click on from curseforge will block wget. What I do is pop open the devtools (f12 in chrome), click on the network tab, click the download link on the web page, and watch the real link show up.
I am using docker compose, it makes the command much easier to start, and all...

I’ve ran a Minecraft server at home since December 2017 for me and my son to play on. We start a brand new one somewhere between every day and every week. The older he gets the longer the server lasts.
In all these years, I’ve been popping open the command line and running the server manually, and even inside of Digital Ocean occasionally to play a more public server with a friend.
My buddy Nic has been sharing me some of his homelab setup, and it’s really got me to thinking about what I can run at home, and Dockerizing all the things. Today I found a really sweet github repo that had a minecraft server running in docker with a pretty incredible setup.
I ended up running the first thing in the Readme that included a volume mount. If you are going to run this container, I HIGHLY reccomend that you make sure that you have your world volume mounted, otherwise it will die with your docker container.
