I learned so much about <strong>Kubernetes</strong> and all the related tools along the way, which was part of the goal.</p> <p>I'm happy to share I now have a <strong>Minecraft server</strong> running in my <strong>K8s homelab cluster</strong>. It is always on, there is no lag, and it's running surprisingly well.</p> <p>I have other lab projects in mind, but I am very happy that the idea that started it all is now complete.</p>
