Up front, advice is greatly appreciated. I’m attempting to build a home lab to learn Kubernetes. I have some Linux knowledge.
I have an Intel NUC 12 gen with i5 CPU, to use a K8 controller, not sure if it’s the correct term. I have 3 HP Elite desk 800 Gen 5 mini PCs with i5 CPUs to use as worker nodes.
I have another hardware set as described above to use as another cluster. Maybe to practice fault tolerance if one cluster guess down the other is redundant. Etc etc.
What OS should I use on the controller and what OS should I use on the nodes.
Any detailed advice is appreciated and if I’m forgetting to ask important questions please fill me in.
There is so much out there like use Proxmox, Talos, Ubuntu, K8s on bare metal etc etc. I’m confused. I know it will be a challenge …

Time is precious, even though the struggle is just of learning. I didn’t want to be out in left field to start.
Much appreciated.
