It's actually pretty easy to do these days, even on bare metal servers. My go to setup for a small bare metal k8s cluster:

- initial nodes setup: networking configuration (private and public network), sshd setup (disallow password login), setting up docker, prepping an NFS share accessible on every nodes via private network

- install RKE and deploy the cluster, deploy nginx ingress controller

- (optional) install rancher to get the rest of the goodies (graphana, istio, etc). These ate a lot of resources though, so I usually don't do this for small clusters

Done in a single afternoon.
