Nice take by @t3dotgg [1]. Some of the old patterns that go deep into webdev, MVC, separation of concerns, REST, are things we are told to believe on day one, thrown so many things, no mental bandwidth, or experience to form our own opinions we must take them as fact. Rarely do we take these facts and revisit them with our new understandings years later.

GitHub - johanhaleby/kubetail: Bash script to tail Kubernetes logs from multiple pods at the same time
Bash script to tail Kubernetes logs from multiple pods at the same time - johanhaleby/kubetail
GitHub Ā· github.com [1]
Kubetail is a pretty sick bash script that allows you to tail logs for multiple pods in one stream. Very handy when you have more than one replica running.
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/johanhaleby/kubetail/master/kubetail
chmod u+x ./kubetail
Now with kubetail I can tail all the logs for every shot-wayl-one pod in the shot namespace.
./kubetail shot-wayl-one -n shot

I am converting my docker compose env secrets over to k8s secrets. This guide was clear and to the point how I can replicate this exact workflow.
First set the secret, the easiest way is to use kubectl wtih āfrom-literal because it automatically base64 encodes for you.
kubectl create secret generic minio-access-key --from-literal=ACCESS_KEY=7FkTV**** -n shot
If you donāt use the --from-literal you will have to base64 encode it.
echo "7FkTV****" | openssl base64
Once you have your secret deployed, you have to update the container spec in your deployment manifest to get the valueFrom secretKeyRef.
spec:
containers:
- env:
- name: ACCESS_KEY
valueFrom:
secretKeyRef:
key: ACCESS_KEY
name: minio-access-key
- name: SECRET_KEY
valueFrom:
secretKeyRef:
key: SECRET_KEY
name: minio-secret-key
image: registry.wayl.one/shot-scraper-api
name: shot-wayl-one
ports:
- containerPort: 5000
protocol: TCP
resources: {}
restartPolicy: Always

Wow, shocked at these results. All this time Iāve been told and believed that k8s is incredibly hard, and you need a $1M problem before you think about it because it will take a $1M team to maintain it. So far my experience has been good, and I definitely do not have a $1M problem in my homelab [2].

I was looking to add running kubernetes jobs to a python cli I am creating, and I found this solution, mostly thanks to ollama run mistral:7b-instruct-q4_K_M and my loose understanding of what the yaml syntax is supposed to look like for a kubernetes job. This will let me create a job in the cluster, choose the image that runs, the command that is called, and how long until the job expires and is cleaned up. While the job still exists I can go in and look at the logs, but once its ttl has expired they are gone.
from kubernetes import client, config
# Load the default kubeconfig
config.load_kube_config()
# Define the API client for batch jobs
api_instance = client.BatchV1Api()
# Create a new job object
job = client.V1Job(
api_version="batch/v1",

You can also get information about the process by running lsof

I was curious to see what was going on inside of my minio object storage. Great technique here by Frank to create an inspector pod, then you can do as you wish with the data.
I created the manifest as pvc-inspector.yml
apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
metadata:
name: pvc-inspector
spec:
containers:
- image: busybox
name: pvc-inspector
command: ["tail"]
args: ["-f", "/dev/null"]
volumeMounts:
- mountPath: /pvc
name: pvc-mount
volumes:
- name: pvc-mount
persistentVolumeClaim:
claimName: pvc-name
Then used it like this.
# create pvc-inspector pod
kubectl apply -f pvc-inspector.yml
# exec into inspector
kubectl exec -it pvc-inspector -- sh
# explore data
ls /pvc
# cleanup
kubectl delete -f pvc-inspector.yml

Can I access k3s using just kubectl (no sudo and no k3s command)
Can I access k3s using just kubectl (no sudo and no k3s command)
Reddit Ā· reddit.com [1]
Right after installing k3s you are going to need to use sudo to use any kubectl command. The reason for this is that the default config is owned by root. To get around this you will need to make your own config and set the KUBECONFIG environment variable
To do this I used sudo one last time to copy the k3s.yaml file into my own directory and take ownership of it.
sudo cp /etc/rancher/k3s/k3s.yaml /home/waylon/.config/kube
sudo chown -R waylon:waylon ~/.config/kube

Quick-Start Guide | K3s
This guide will help you quickly launch a cluster with default options. Make sure your nodes meet the requirements before proceeding.
docs.k3s.io [1]
I recently spun up k3s in my homelab [2]. Iām trying to offload some work off of my free tier fly.io app in order to keep it free tier without crashing.
# install and start k3s
curl -sfL https://get.k3s.io | sh -
# check to see if your nodes are started
sudo kubectl get nodes
My main hiccup so far was the machine I am running on runs zfs on root, and it would not start the master node. Rather than figuring out how to make zfs play nice I just pointed k3s to a drive that is not zfs.
# manuallly
sudo k3s server -d /mnt/vault/.rancher/k3s
# without editing systemd service
sudo ln -s /mnt/vault/.rancher/k3s /var/lib/rancher/k3s
