Backups

Wherein I’m finally done with the backups in my Homelab’s k8s cluster. This is part 15 of my k8s migration series. Finally, I’m done. After months of writing Python code for my backup operator. Especially during the middle phase of the implementation, after the initial planning and design, it felt like a slog. Dozens of tasks, many functions to implement, and seemingly no end in sight. I’m rather elated to finally be able to write another post in the k8s migration series....

Wherein it seems I need a new backup strategy. This is part 13 of my k8s migration series. During the last week, I’ve started to work on implementing my backup strategy for the new Kubernetes cluster. The original plan was to stay with what I’m already doing in my Nomad cluster. But it turns out I can’t, so I need a new strategy. If you’re prone to suffering from IT-related nightmares, you might wish to skip this one....

Wherein I document how I migrated some S3 buckets over to the Ceph Rook cluster and with that, made it load-bearing. This is part six of my k8s migration series. So why write a post about migrating S3 buckets, and why do it at this point of the Nomad -> k8s migration? In short, it just fit in here very well. I already planned to make Ceph Rook one of the first services to set up anyway....
