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 [2] Note This post is a thought [3].

- 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 Note This post is a thought [1].

External Link X (formerly Twitter) · twitter.com [1] 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]. [1] Note This post is a thought [3].

htmx ~ Locality of Behaviour (LoB) Carson Gross explores the Locality of Behaviour (LoB) principle, which emphasizes making the behavior of code units obvious on inspection to enhance maintainability. He discusses the tradeoffs betw... 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> Note This post is a thought [4].

External Link thoughts.waylonwalker.com [1] 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 thoughts 1058292 waylon 11u IPv4 119622828 0t0 TCP *:commplex-main (LISTEN) Note This post is a thought [2].

[1] 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 Note This post is a thought [2].
