A quick and simple guide to automating your k0s cluster backup with ansible and systemd. You can probably guess the code you're about to read.

If you're running on Hetzner, you might want to update your DNS settings to use some other resolvers. This can problem can manifest if you're trying to resolve DNS names that resolve to your own machines *from inside your own machines*.

Want to wait for some Kubernetes resources and don't want to write a full reconciliation loop/operator? Here's how to hack it.

You may not need Flux/ArgoCD or any fancy automated reconciliation loop deployment process just yet! Plain old CI runners work quite well for simple automated deployments (this approach powers this blog right now!).

A small exploration and guide (with repo) into exposing SSH to a container in a Pod over port 443 (which is normally used for HTTPS).

I finish up the benchmarking process, and share the results. If you want to find what I actually end up using, the answer is in here!

I describe in detail the YAML and Makefile scripts that power the fio and pgbench based tests that will run on every storage provider I managed to set up

I install even more storage providers -- this time OpenEBS cStor, Jiva, LocalPV hostPath, LocalPV ZFS and LINSTOR

I start installing storage plugins, this time Rook (Ceph) -- which takes a while -- and OpenEBS Mayastor. Read this if you want to read a feel-good underdog system administration story.

Part 1 of my second crack at benchmarking storage providers that scale from hobbyist to enterprise. In this post I go over the setup (the code isn't public just yet) of the dedicated servers I'll be using
