Kubernetes

I started my maiden voyage into Kubernetes over the Holidays. What is Kubernetes??

From Wikipedia: Kubernetes is an open source container orchestration system for automating software deployment, scaling, and management.

I’m running a K3s cluster on an old computer and 2 raspberry pi 4 SBCs. I installed Proxmox on my old PC and created an Ubuntu server VM (virtual machine) to run the Kubernetes master node. The 2 Raspberry Pies are running the 64 bit lite version of Raspian.

The Kubernetes install was easy on Ubuntu. One command in the CLI and I was in business.

The Raspian install on the Pi’s was a little more in depth. If you are familiar with Linux CLI you will have no problems. There are a couple .config files that need modifying.

After some trial and error, I have the Master node and two worker nodes up and running.

Next up installing Rancher for those of us who live a good GUI.

Until next time.
