K3s
A lightweight Kubernetes distribution developed by Rancher Labs (now part of SUSE), designed for edge computing, IoT, and home-lab environments. It packages core Kubernetes components into a single binary under 100 MB, with significantly lower resource consumption than standard Kubernetes deployments.
Timeline (last 90 days)
K3s's containerd configuration file is located at /var/lib/rancher/k3s/agent/etc/containerd/config.toml, and editing it directly will be overwritten on K3s restart, so the .tmpl template extension mechanism should be used.
The containerd runtime built into K3s does not, by default, expose the host's PCI hardware (such as an NVIDIA GPU) to containers.
If Ollama in a K3s container cannot see the /dev/nvidia* device nodes, it will be unable to load the CUDA runtime and will thus fall back to CPU inference.
K3s packages the core components of Kubernetes into a single binary file of less than 100 MB
K3s features a complete Kubernetes API, RBAC permission system, and namespace isolation
Developer Hector integrated a locally running Qwen Agent into his own K3s homelab and granted it actual write permissions via MCP
K3s is a lightweight Kubernetes distribution launched by Rancher Labs (now under SUSE), designed specifically for resource-constrained edge computing, IoT devices, and personal lab scenarios
K3s是Rancher推出的轻量Kubernetes发行版，将整个Kubernetes控制平面压缩到约70MB
