I wisely(?) decieded that something I wanted to do was have Kubernetes deployed in the cloud, so I picked an archived project using a tool I hadn't used much (Terraform) that deployed already obsolete versions of everything. All in all, a strong start. Actually, its not all as bad as …
read moreSome different takes on Kubenetes
I'm finally in the raining phase of Kubernetes, and I have a few deployments to talk about. First is the simple one - I created a brand new VM, put everything together with micro Kube, and piddled with it a bit. I honestly was a bit rusty, and I followed a …
read moreTackling the container with Docker
Okay, after a bunch of inaction I'm finally firing up Docker and Kubernetes and playing a bit. I'm starting to dream a bit too, because beside thinking about running a Grocy and a Monica install, I'm also thinking about a getting email and possibly VoIP working. I've even done some …
read moreLearning more docker
While I've managed to run and do a bit of hacking around the edge of Docker containers up until now, I am starting to put all the pieces together in my understanding.
I'm still not an expert or fully adept, but I was able to figure out storage bits -- how …
read moreSome complication and maybe some simple stuff
First, the complications - things not working as I'd hope. For some reason, using a moderate Wordpress install on an EC2 instance seems to suck up all the memory and kill MySQL. Ugh! I was hoping to move back into WP as an authoring tool, but it seems like that won't …
read moreDocker storage and creating images
I've figured out a bit about storage, both for Docker and for Kubernetes. By default, both systems have some local storage for the life of a container, but when the container stops the storage is cleared too, not ideal if there is something you actually need to store. To work …
read moreUnderstanding Docker
Ah, Docker. I've studied and played with it a bit on the edges, while I've mainly focused on general containers and Kubernetes. But to really understand, I have to dig a bit deeper into the whole Docker side a bit more. On the surface, Docker containers are simple to understand …
read moreSpinning up a small project
I have set a goal of getting a Docker container and or a Kubernetes cluster up and running soon, and as a part of this effort I'm hoping to pull in the personal CRM application Monica. I currently have this deployed on a single purpose built VM, but I'd like …
read moreMid month check in
Wow, time flies when you are busy. Teaching itself has been going pretty well, and we are in good shape with regards to where we are supposed to be on the lecture side. I've been doing recordings of the lectures, which up until now I've only watched pieces of, as …
read moreCloud conferences
So, I've stopped by a few conferences lately, so time to dish a bit. The other day I stopped by jFrog's swampUp conf, which had a good session by Anais and another by Kat Cosgrove about teaching Kubernetes that I found great. Earlier today there was Dockercon, which featured Anais …
