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 · 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 –from-literal because it automatically base64 encodes for you.
kubectl create secret generic minio-access-key --from-literal=ACCESS_KEY=7FkTV**** -n shot
If you don’t 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 I’ve 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].

htmx.org [1]
Interesting principle here. What a great example, If I’m looking at the second jQuery example, I have to dig into dev tools or make some assumtions that this team uses jQuery, and selects by id, therefore I can grep for $("#d1").
Consider two different implementations of an AJAX request in HTML [2], the first in htmx [3]:
<button hx-get="/clicked">Click Me</button>
> and the second in jQuery:
``` js
$("#d1").on("click", function(){
$.ajax({
/* AJAX options... */
});
});
<button id="d1">Click Me</button>

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",
kind="Job",
metadata=client.V1ObjectMeta(name="myjob"),
spec=client.V1JobSpec(
ttl_seconds_after_finished=100,
template=client.V1PodTemplateSpec(
metadata=client.V1ObjectMeta(labels={"app": "myjob"}),
spec=client.V1PodSpec(
containers=[
client.V1Container(
name="myjobcontainer",
image="busybox",
command=["ls", "/"],
),
],
restart_policy="Never",
),
),
backoff_limit=1,

How to kill process based on the port number in Linux
Learn to kill a process by port in Linux using fuser, lsof, and ss commands. Essential for system admins managing network processes efficiently.
LinuxConfig · linuxconfig.org [1]
I’ve often struggled to find and kill a process using a certain port on archlinux. Mainly becuase most guides use netstat rather than ss.
Here is how I just killed the process using port 5000 using fuser.
sudo fuser -k 5000/tcp
You can also get information about the process by running lsof
❯ lsof -i :5000
COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME

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
