Kubernetes The Hard Way - Bare Metal Edition

This tutorial is copied and modified from Kelsey Hightower's original

It installs a Kubernetes cluster on a home network with bare-metal nodes or VMs. At this point it sets up one controller and three worker nodes. You can add as many workers as you want, but adding new controllers will require a load balancer.

This uses kube-router to setup pod networking.

I am converting this to install a fully functional k8s cluster for home, with an integrated registry and storage. I'll update this tutorial as I build those pieces.
