Shit hit the fan a couple of days ago, when the #ingressnginx team announced that they're retiring the project. Ingress NGINX has been my #Kubernetes #ingress controller of choice since forever, and this came a quite a shock.

Right now, it looks like the #Traefik ingress controller is the most viable choice for an easy plug-in replacement. I'm giving it a test run on my home cluster, which is running all sorts of weird things that make up a good technical test. #Jellyfin seems like it's working well with WebSockets and all, and raw TCP to Mosquitto is working well too.

Obviously this is rather low traffic, but it looks like this could be a future replacement on the #Midgaard cluster running https://mstdn.dk - no matter what, staying on a burning ingress controller is not an option.

#Midgaard, the #Kubernetes cluster hosting https://mstdn.dk is being upgraded and migrated to new beefier servers at #Hetzner. We're now running Kubernetes 1.28. The new setup means more RAM, NVMe disks and more rotating magnetic bulk storage. The migration is being done by first spanning and then shrinking the cluster, and we're currently in the latter phase, having only three of the original servers left. These servers are still running our #DNS and moving them will require reaching out to our registrar to update glue records for the nameservers. It's a work in progress, and we're getting there.
