Another week of progress in getting set up with the #fediverse! It's been a hell of a journey getting set up and some of my aspirations, like having all apps be able to be connected with external #SSO, won't happen (#pixelfed doesn't support it).

They still need more work and setup, but I'm also running #writefreely and #picsur. I have #cloudflare caching images and resources and responsiveness is looking pretty good despite the server being located in the EU and I'm in the US.

I've mis-mounted storage, done a ton of wipes, nearly got my federated local domains wrong. So many minor things. I still need to get actual admin stuff like captcha and sign in set up, but the infrastructure is there.

One of the things I'd like to do as well is to make a landing website with details on services provided, how to sign up, etc. It'd also be cool to get someone to do some iconography and make a mascot before it goes live.

Pending services:

• piefed
• #bookwyrm
• maybe #Matrix. I've been using it on my own for a while, but even when switching from the main server to another implementation, I'm not sure it's ready.
• a wiki

But so far, we have a 2 node #kubernetes #cluster with backups, replication & fault tolerance, caching, etc.

I've learned so much from doing this. Is is stuff I could repeat? dunno.

Officially being made redundant. Been a long time coming, but haven't been having much success in the current market.

If anybody is on the lookout for a dedicated and passionate Tech Lead / Full-lifecycle Software Developer with 12+ years experience would really appreciate a connection.

Well, my docker VM is no more - it has been replaced by 15-ish pods on my kubernetes cluster.

Next up is grafana/Prometheus to get a better grasp on how the cluster is doing, and looking at other VMs that I can containerize to free up hardware (looking at you, three node RaspberryPi Vault cluster).

I am a bit confused why I'm not seeing more resource utilization on my workers - I don't think I have any resource limits in place?

I'll also have to figure out networking at some point - meaning how do I plumb different VLANs to containers.

Anyone got an opinion on the best tool to run a development Kubernetes cluster on another machine? Minikube on our laptops is just too much once our workload is deployed, want to chuck it on some physical servers, with something that we can quickly spin up/destroy as needed; all internal, not worried about security etc.

Just read an article on NewStack about Kubevirt! What the shit!! People are thinking of running vm's in a container orchestrator?
My K8 peoples how do you feel about this? As a person pretty fond of vm's still..... Sounds like we just doing VMWare again and calling it cloud native!

I will concede the api argument. That's a fair argument! Seems super silly to do it here tho!
