Motivation
Regular Twitch streamer, Jeff Fritz (csharpfritz) has been trying to configure a Kubernetes cluster using K3s by Rancher Labs installation on six Raspberry Pis. They hit multiple roadblocks, such as trying to set up NFS-based Persistent Volumes in the cluster shared between the nodes, and accessing the dashboard. I took their frustration as a prompt to write up some tutorials that explain everything you need and why.
Pre-requisites
First, we need our cluster to have Linux of some kind installed. I will assume that we’ve got a cluster of three Ubuntu Linux systems that have had no other changes.
Caveats
