I setup a kubernetes cluster using Raspberry pi. It was much easier than I had imagined.

I used a Raspberry 4 for the master, and an agent. And I used two Raspberry B for two agents.

I setup using `mhausenblas tutorial`_, which uses `k3s`_ for setting up of kubernetes on raspberry pis.
I used `k3sup`_ tool for installation of packages, which worked well.

My overall goal ran into some challenges.

* I was not able to setup the kubernetes dashboard via helm package, and I had to use instructions from github.
* I was not able to setup minecraft using the available helm package: https://github.com/itzg/docker-minecraft-server/issues/433
* I used k3sup to install packages, but I do not know how to uninstall the package using k3sup https://github.com/alexellis/k3sup/issues/179

Givem all these, I still have the my local kubernetes cluster up and running and I am excited about the possiblities
of using kubernetes on raspberry pis.
