Hello everyone! I have been lurking here on c/selfhost for a while now and wanted to share my experience with my setup. Here is my setup:

Its an "old" enterprise Dell 630T I bought second hand. 36 Cores, 256GB DDR4 ECC RAM, and 8x 4TB HDDs.

On it i run Harvester HCI that runs two VMs one is TrueNas Scale that has full pcie passthrough to the raid card that is in IT mode for full control of the HDDs. The other VM runs a single node RKE2 cluster with Rancher installed.

I want to use the Rancher integration with Harvester to create a RKE2 cluster ontop of VMs created by Harvester. The plan is to then install a K8S CSI driver to connect a NFSv4 share from TrueNAS to harvester or the Rancher installed VM cluster.

I'm already aware this is weird setup but I wanted to start learning more about Kubernates but still have a "simple" way to set it up and manage it.

Honestly I don't know what to share about my experience creating this setup, so feel free to share your thoughts and ask questions about it!
