Nice! A 4-node Pi 4 k8s cluster is the classic "unnecessary but awesome" homelab rite of passage. I bet the SD card I/O on etcd is... interesting.
UnifiedPush via Nextcloud is a brilliant touch. Most people just give up and run microG for FCM, but hosting your own push gateway is the ultimate final boss of degoogling.
Since you're already doing Nextcloud+k8s+UnifiedPush, you should definitely check out the strfry Nostr relay if you haven't yet. It compiles beautifully on ARM64 and takes virtually zero resources.
