CAPI Part 5: Ubuntu on Proxmox - Image Builder and Deploy

After exploring Talos Linux in previous articles, it’s time to change approach and use Ubuntu as the base operating system for our Kubernetes nodes. In this post we’ll see how to create a Kubernetes cluster on Proxmox using Cluster API (CAPI) and the official images generated with image-builder. Why Ubuntu instead of Talos? While Talos provides an excellent immutable and minimal experience, Ubuntu offers: Greater flexibility for debugging and troubleshooting Familiarity for those coming from traditional Linux environments Wider support for tools and software Advanced customization possibilities Prerequisites Before starting, make sure you have:

• Kubernetes
• CAPI
• Cluster API
• Ubuntu
• Proxmox
• Image Builder
• Homelab

Self-Hosted n8n Deployment in Homelab

Context and Motivations n8n is a powerful open-source workflow automation tool that allows connecting a wide range of services through configurable nodes. Unlike SaaS (Software as a Service) alternatives like Zapier or Make, n8n can be installed in self-hosted mode, ensuring full control over data, privacy, and extensibility. The goal of this project is to illustrate how to create a fully automated n8n instance within a home lab environment. The following technologies will be used:

• n8n
• Automation
• Homelab
• DevOps
• Self-Hosted
