I recently wanted to give my current RPi4 home server a GitOps makeover, migrating services (Home Assistant, Nextcloud and others) to k3s in the process.

What has been an obstacle is the availability of officially maintained Docker images for some of the components I've been wanting to use - afaict neither Argo CD nor Rook have official armv7/aarch64 images (though it seems Argo will release one soon).

Until then, I'll hold off on that pet project until I get my hands on a reasonably priced x86 SFF PC (the ThinkCentre M700 Tiny from TFA looks interesting!).

FWIW, FluxCD has full armv7 and aarch64 support (it definitely works on a Raspberry Pi 4, the earlier models with 1GB of RAM too, although depending on the size of your git repos that may not be enough memory, 4GB-8GB certainly is for Flux.)

How many Rpi4 servers are we talking? I have never run Rook before (though I ran Ceph, when it was called deis-store way back before it was cool) and I always remember that you needed at least 3-5 servers with at least one dedicated disk for OSD per each to make it work well, if at all!

I'm looking at synology-csi right now for my homelab, and wondering if there is hope that I can stop using local-path-storage this way, it looks a little bit outdated, so I'm afraid that may keep me from running the latest version of Kubernetes on it... unless I hack the support into it myself :gasp: surely that's gonna void the warranty

(I did wind up getting synology-csi to work!)

For various reasons I started building all container images myself. In most cases when arm64 images aren't provided, they will build just fine anyway.

Running you own registry is super simple.
