An 'easy' way to deploy a cluster could be using kubeadm. Then you'll need a CNI like Calico to get Pod networking up-and-running. However, you'll want to install a bunch of other software on said cluster to monitor it, manage logs,...

Given you're running on physical infrastructure, MetalK8s [1] could be of interest (full disclosure: I'm one of the leads of said project, which is fully open-source and used as part of our commercial enterprise storage products)
