Remark42 Remark42 - the better commenting system When I restarted this blog based on the Ghost blog software I was looking for a free self-hosted commenting system. I integrated Commento and used it for a while. But it's a pity that this software had no new releases since a year and the number of issues are raising.
Kubernetes Creating a multi-arch K8 cluster - Part 5 - Add a x86-Node Adding a x86/AMD64 node to the cluster is similar to the steps described in part 2 and part 3 of this guide. This part will add a few details you should pay attention on. At first a bootable installation media with Ubuntu 20.04 LTS for AMD64 is needed.
Helm (My) public helm charts While I started my project to setup an own (Home) Kubernetes cluster with a mixed-architecture (AMD64+ARM64), I realized that there are a lot of public helm charts around that do not satisfy my 2 basic needs of: 1. Deploying architecture independent images 2. Fullfil basic security settings (non-root, unprivileged,
Kubernetes Creating a multi-arch K8 cluster - Part 4 - Setup a load-balancer and NFS After part 3 of this blog series we have a fully working Kubernetes cluster. Load-BalancerIt has one major drawback: All exposed ports of running pods/services are only reachable under the specific worker node IP address. In a real cluster a load-balancer would handle all incoming traffic and route it
Kubernetes Kubernetes 1.20 breaking changes There is a small point in the Release Notes of Kubernetes 1.20 which could break a cluster that using Metallb and/or NFS client provisioner. A feature called selfLink (which is deprecated since 1.16) will finally be removed in 1.21 and needs to be activated manually for
Kubernetes Creating a multi-arch K8 cluster - Part 3 - Install Docker and Kubernetes The following steps have to be done on all Raspberry Pi's in the cluster! Prepare Docker installationEnable the linux kernel control groups (cgroups) for Docker and Kubernetes. These cgroups are responsible for isolation and limiting of resources like CPU and memory. Therefor it's necessary to edit the boot firmware file.
Raspberry PI Creating a multi-arch K8 cluster - Part 2 - Installing the OS One goal was to use Kubernetes on 64-bit because this architecture is widely supported with a growing number of docker images while arm32v6/v7 is silently dying. Only a 64-bit OS can take full advantage of the 4 GB memory of an Raspberry PI 4. With the hardware that was
Kubernetes Creating a multi-arch K8 cluster - Part 1 - The hardware setup Motivation: My initial motivation was to learn more about Kubernetes. When my little home server (a Zotac CI 327) had an outage caused by a SSD failure I started thinking of moving from simple Docker to Kubernetes and building a complete failover and load-balancing cluster. I took this as a
Tools "Übersicht" Tool for OS X Today i stumbled over a really nice little desktop widget tool called Übersicht. It’s from the developer Felix Hageloh.
