I found the start wasn't so good, but I like it now. Into it an hour.

Think about this: If they paid you for one VPS and you would rent it, they would not have root access on that node, but you could grant them secure access to all nodes inside Kubernetes using RBAC and limit what they can do per namespace: CPU requests and limits, memory requests and limits, number of pods, services, PVCs and storage capacity. With CNI like Calico (that would replace the in-built Flannel from k3s) you could also make sure that cross-namespace communication is restricted and bandwitdh is (partially) limited as well. Cilium might be a better fit for limiting bandwidth even, but it's a bit more complex.

From a security point of view, that'd optimal.

The workloads that are supposed to run on the cluster need to be considered now to be able to make a good decision about the storage requirements.

For the scale you are planning for, S3 is a good fit but you need to say goodbye to distributed storage that runs on those nodes and rely on the applications running on those nodes to replicate and create and upload backups. It's not fully self-healing when a node goes down.

Well, that's a task to think about. I will design it when there are volunteers

Longhorn integrates with k8s. Its could be a nice solution

What won't give you PVCs but a way to distribute static content for applications or backups.

So....
On the topic of trust. There are heuristic distributed trust systems. They can also be backed by some kind of solution... like Vault

Also, owner need to be trusted. Even if you limit what the contributors of those nodes have limited access to inside cluster, they will have full access to whatever runs on their nodes anyway.

If the node owner were to share storage for distribution.

I didn't think about it. I would probably try to link it to a cluster

However, if this is not about hosting but secure communication, let them provide the VPS and setup a Matrix network.

Blobs, media, backups: Garage S3
Databases needing HA: App-native replication or accept node-loss risk
Databases tolerating downtime: Local storage + S3 backup + restore on failure
Stateless workloads: Anything, freely schedulable

Still talking about stateful applications. Stateless is trivial.

I did a three nodes k3s cluster with gluster as backing storage for PVCs, across three different data centers that were "near" each other. I didn't run much on it though.

Vault controls how secrets are distributed and who is authorized to request them — but once a secret lands on a node, the node operator can see it.

Offtopic

Longhorn is slow and synchronous. Garage is a good fit for distribution data over nodes that are not near to each other.

Offtopic

13 May 2026 16:18

Stateful applications would need to sync with other instances still, but could send backups to Garage.

Offtopic

13 May 2026 16:17

Garage + Vault...
Yeah...

Offtopic

13 May 2026 16:13

Yes. There is a latency issue. But I remember there's an open-source solution specifically for these kinds of 'garage distributed systems'. It's called Garage, I believe — named exactly that

Offtopic

Other than local storage.

Offtopic

There's a latency concern if the distributed storage is distributed to nodes around different parts of the world. Asynchronous replication would have a tolerable latency, but there's a risk of data loss.

Outside of (external to) the cluster?
