For my home lab, I built a 3 node Talos (from https://www.talos.dev/) cluster from older Dell Optiplex systems. I am using:
MetalLB - https://metallb.io/ load balancer
Traefik - https://doc.traefik.io/traefik/getting-started/quick-start-with-kubernetes/ ingress
Local Path - https://docs.apps.rancher.io/reference-guides/local-path-provisioner storage
