๐Ÿ‘‹ I decided to build a homelab for myself!! ๐Ÿ˜

Everything kicked off when I discovered the homelab subreddit. That was the spark. Being a DIY enthusiast, it was the only thing I could think about after that day.

Iโ€™ve been working on Kubernetes clusters for a while and recently got CKS and CKA certified.
Up until now, I used Docker Desktop and sometimes Multipass to spin up temporary clusters for practice โ€” but never had something permanent.

The idea of having my own environment where I could break things freely and learn deeply just clicked.
It felt like the next logical step after experimenting with local clusters.
