> Sounds like you want a k3s based homelab and then connect it all with Tailscale or Netbird.

I apologize if it was confusing. I was suggesting the exact opposite. It's not about how to build a mini enterprise cluster. It's about how to change the service infrastructure to suit the small computers we usually find at homes, without any modifications. I'm suggesting a more fundamental change.

It isn't too bad where I'm at, either. But sadly, that isn't the practical situation elsewhere. We need to treat power and connectivity as random and intermittent.

You can do this now. It would likely require packaging your services up in Windows installers that deploy Windows services. Will run across most computers you find in homes.
