K8s

Wherein I add the Kubernetes nodes to my host update Ansible playbook. This is part eight of my k8s migration series. With the number of hosts I’ve now got in my Homelab, I definitely need a better way to update them than manually SSH’ing into each. So a while ago, I created an Ansible playbook to update all hosts in my Homelab. These updates are also one of the reasons I keep so many physical hosts, even if they’re individually relatively small: I want an environment where I can take down any given host for updates without anything at all breaking, and especially without having to take the entire lab down before a regular host update....

Wherein I document how I migrated my logging setup from Nomad to k8s. This is part seven of my k8s migration series. Setup overview Let’s start with an overview of the setup. Overview of my logging pipeline. It all starts out with the app’s logs. Those are output to stdout in the container. Then, my container runtime, cri-o, takes that and writes it to files in /var/log/containers/ by default. It also prefixes the log line with the timestamp, the stream it was coming from, and F for full log lines as well as P for partial log lines....

Wherein I ran into some problems with the Cilium BGP routing and firewalls on my OPNsense box. This is the second addendum for Cilium load balancing in my k8s migration series. While working on my S3 bucket migration, I ran into several rather weird problems. After switching my internal wiki over to using the Ceph RGW S3 from my k8s Ceph Rook cluster, I found that the final upload of the generated site to the S3 bucket from which it was served did not work, even though I had all the necessary firewall rules configured....

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....

Wherein I talk about the setup of Ceph Rook on my k8s cluster. This is part five of my k8s migration series. The current setup I’ve been running Ceph as my storage layer for quite a while now. In my current Nomad setup, it provides volumes for my jobs as well as S3 for those apps which support it. In addition, most of my Raspberry Pis are diskless, netbooting off of Ceph’s RBD block devices as their root....
