kubernetes node labels
If you need to target a specific k8s node in the cluster, you can use labels. You want to treat your nodes as much like cattle as you can, but sometimes budgets get in the way. You might be like me and just run any free hardware you can get in your cluster, or you might have some large storage or gpu needs that you can't afford to put on every node in the cluster. To use the label in a pod set to the label that you applied.

grafana dashboards as k8s configmap
I'm trying to learn proper logs, monitoring, otel, and grafana. Today I imported a bunch of pre-made k8s dashboards and made a few of my own for specific apps, and it made me want to know how I can turn my own custom dashboards into infrastructure as code. Turns out grafana makes it pretty easy to do this, if you have the grafana dashboard sidecar running. It will pick up any ConfigMap with the grafana_dashboard label and import it. Go to Dashboards -> Pick a Dashboard -> Export -> JSON. imag

Changing k8s Storage Class - Migration Job
I'm setting up longhorn in my homelab, and I ran into an issue where I initially setup some pvcs under longhorn, and later realized that to get longhorn to snapshot and backup I needed to hand edit volumes after the fact or change storage class. I'm all in on gitops so option 1 was not an option. So changing storageclass it is. Now the issue is that you CANNOT mutate storageclass on a provisioned pvc, it is an immutable attribute.

postiz-file-upload
Today I learned that the docs in postiz are a bit behind, (fantastic docs btw, they are to the point, and cover almost all of what you need). The docs state that you need to include an R2 bucket to handle uploads. This issue shows that more work has been done, one of which is local storage. The compose file they use in the quick start has the required env variables to set this up. looking into my running instance I can see my images there.

k8s kustomize diff
I've started leaning in on kubernetes kustomize to customize my manifests per deployment per environment. Today I learned that it comes with a diff command.

Now I can try out kustomize changes and see the change with kustomize diff.

Install sealed-secreats via manifest
Yesterday I realized that I have overlooked the default installation method of the sealed secrets controller for [[ kubernetes-kubeseal ]] this whole time an jumped straight to the helm section. I spun up a quick [[ kind-cluster ]] and had it up quickly. I can't say this is any better or worse than helm as I have never needed to customize the install. According to the docs you can customize it with [[ kustomize ]] or helm.

kind cluster
kind {.hoverlink} is a very useful tool to quickly standup and teardown kubernetes clusters. I use it to run clusters locally. Generally they are short lived clusters for trying, testing, and learning about kubernetes. Kind is Kubernetes in Docker, its very fast to get a new cluster up and running. Other than checking a box in docker desktop it is the easiest way currently to get a cluster up and running. I've used docker desktop for k8s before I really developed on k8s and it was buggy at t
