On the surface, my network implementation is very simple. The cluster nodes, the NAS and the router are all on the same /24 privateContinue reading “Kubernetes Homelab Part 2: Networking”

Load-balancing Ingress with MetalLB on MicroK8s
Out of the box, the MicroK8s distribution of ingress-nginx installed as the MicroK8s addon ingress binds to ports 80+443 on the node’s IP address using a hostPort, as we can see here on line 20: This is fine for a single-node deployment, but now MicroK8s supports clustering we need to find a way of load-balancing our Ingress, as a multi-node cluster willContinue reading “Load-balancing Ingress with MetalLB on MicroK8s”
Building a hyperconverged Kubernetes cluster with MicroK8s and Ceph
This guide explains how to build a highly-available, hyperconverged Kubernetes cluster using MicroK8s, Ceph and MetalLB on commodity hardware or virtual machines. This could be useful for small production deployments, dev/test clusters, or a nerdy toy. Other guides are available – this one is written from a sysadmin point of view, focusing on stability andContinue reading “Building a hyperconverged Kubernetes cluster with MicroK8s and Ceph”
