I've been doing HomeLab and HomeLab-adjacent things for over 10 years at this point (based on the ago of Pi-hole and Raspberry Pi 2, this would be closer to 8+ years). My first experience in the space was a Raspberry Pi 2 that I used for a few years to

    I toyed with dev domain but ended up using namespace.tld and postfixing -dev to my namespace so it works out to service.tld and service-dev.tld.

          That makes sense!

          Have you played with anything like Istio to secure in-cluster communications? I think Hashicorp Consul can do something similar to encrypt service to service communications.

            I looked into it but I felt at the time it was too complex, maybe I’ll look at it again. Currently I am using wireguard for all cluster node-to-node traffic.
