Depends on what you understand by saying "self-host". The most people think it's about deploying kubernetes in the own environment.

If you want to compare different approaches to deploy k8s in a custom environment, refer to this article which covers a bunch of options suitable for that.

If you are interested in how to set up an HA Kubernetes cluster using kubeadm, refer to this article.

However, in kubernetes, there is a different definition of "self-hosted". It means running kubernetes itself as a workload in kubernetes. If you are interested in a real self-hosted approach (on a custom environment), refer to this article

Hope this helps

You can use typhoon which can be used to provision an HA kubernetes cluster.

Here is a sample configuration which I used to bring up my own home cluster.

A few advantages of typhoon are that you have the option of choosing your choice of a cloud provider for provisioning your infrastructure, which is done using terraform and the fact that it gives you upstream k8s is a big plus too.

Internally, it uses bootkube to bring up the temporary control plane, which would consist of

  • api-server
  • controller-manager
  • scheduler

and then when we have the temporary control plane object, we inject the objects to the API server to have our k8s cluster.

Have a look at this kubecon talk given by CoreOS which explains how this is working.
