This repository holds the "original tutorial" for "Kubernetes on Raspbian" by Alex Ellis using kubeadm. It also has a list of reader's clusters for your inspiration and Alex's newest work with k3s.
My current recommendation is to use [k3s](https://k3s.io) from Rancher Labs. It is normal Kubernetes and passes the conformance tests written by the CNCF. I'm yet to be convinced of why someone wouldn't use this for a hobbyist build and I've been pleasantly surprised by it. Rancher Labs offers commercial support and k3s is GA, even more reason to use this option.
You may also enjoy k3sup ("ketchup") - a tool I built with the community to bootstrap k3s clusters over SSH. It has a simple `k3sup install / join` syntax and is available on GitHub. See more at: [https://k3sup.dev](https://k3sup.dev)

This guide is part of a larger blog post: [Build your own bare-metal ARM cluster](https://blog.alexellis.io/build-your-own-bare-metal-arm-cluster/).
My current thinking is that only advanced users should attempt to install Kubernetes with `kubeadm`. Historically, it's had some unfortunate issues around timeouts and being slow, k3s makes installation and operation seamless.
Once you're up and running please share your clusters on Twitter with [@alexellisuk](https://twitter.com/alexellisuk).
