Running a custom Kubernetes setup in a Sandbox

Some members of the TrueNAS community have expressed interest in running their own custom Kubernetes instance, as opposed to the iX-provided installation. Sometimes this is to integrate with their own management system, use a different runtime, or even experiment with a “cluster-in-a-box” style configuration; but whatever the reason, this small tutorial will provide a brief overview of the process of installing Kubernetes within a TrueNAS SCALE “Sandbox” using the popular Jailmaker script.
