Finally I found time to write down some insights into my #homelab, #selfhosting adventures and how I run things unconnected to big tech platforms.

A general look insight can be found here https://www.codedge.de/hlab/

If you want to read some technical details about some inner workings, follow my article series around my homelab look here https://www.codedge.de/tags/hlab/

I am going to write some more in-depth articles in the next couple of days.

Is there any world where it makes sense to set the cluster service IP range as global IPv6 addresses?

It _sortof_ works with a range in my router's delegated prefix but I'm suspecting Cilium's native routing option is treating it as North-South traffic since it's inside the native routing range.

Which I think means it's YOLOing CoreDNS's East-West attempts to reach the default Kubernetes service across the host interface (and to the gateway, which has no idea what to do with it).

Relatedly, I think I can put to bed my idea of service implementation being DNS.

It started with some Docker containers on a Raspberry Pi, then it was two Pis… now I run a two-node K8s cluster on some Intel NUCs with dedicated/ext. failover DNS. What a rabbit hole 😅

On the other hand you gain such a huge amount of devops an infrastructure knowledge - for me it was worth putting in weeks of effort. And you have a resilient base of hosting your services, that noone can just take away or up subscription pricing.

I am currently writing multiple posts about it. Will publish the first one soon.

Finally, I retired my AWS/ECS setup for my self-hosted apps, as it was too expensive to operate—I had to pay $20 monthly just to run containers for only a day or so each month, so I rarely used them. Now, everything has been migrated to my FreeBSD-powered Kubernetes home cluster! Part 7 of this blog series covers the initial pod deployments.

@HerraBRE #kubernetes works fine for any services that use TCP or UDP. It's just an orchestration API. Whether you should use it is a question of scale, mostly. In the past decade, I've put all sorts of things on #K8S.

So like gVisor or Kata or...?

｢ Docker is essentially a sandwich of disk images where you can shove absolutely anything, and then these images get executed by running whatever legacy software you’ve crammed in there, regardless of how horrific or inconsistent it might be, with zero behavioral controls ｣
