Pick between `k3s` or `kubeadm`.
#### Pick `k3s`
#### Fix Docker for Raspbian Buster (optional)
My current recommendation is to use [k3s](https://k3s.io) from Rancher Labs.
Docker is currently *not supported* by Docker on Raspbian Buster, there are however work-arounds.
It's:
* Read: [How to fix Docker for Raspbian Buster](https://blog.alexellis.io/how-to-fix-docker-for-raspbian-buster/)
* faster, uses less resources
#### 1) Pick `k3s` (recommended)
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.
k3s is:
* faster, and uses fewer resources
* well-maintained and ARMHF / ARM64 just works
* still upstream / compliant Kubernetes
* doesn't appear to run the complicated issues seen with `kubeadm`
* still normal, upstream, compliant Kubernetes
* doesn't appear to run into some of the complicated issues we've seen with `kubeadm`

#### 2) Or pick `kubeadm` (advanced users)
#### Pick `kubeadm`
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.
