About This Kubernetes Cluster
This website is hosted on a bare metal Kubernetes cluster that I built using Raspberry Pi's. In this cluster I run various experiments and stats you see here are directly taken via KubernetesClient.
Including this UI and gRPC backend pods to present this portfolio
MetalLB as load balancer,
Ngnix for ingress controller,
Let's Encrypt for certificates
Including a Docker private image registry
For various tasks like getting image of the day
Used 3 Raspberry Pi's with a tower case. I can easily add new Pi's when needed.
Tech Stack
This is the tech I used to deploy this system. Highlights what I'm proficient at.
You can check the source code at my GitHub!
Kubernetes
Proudly self-hosted at my Raspberry Pi 5-4 cluster! Nodes are prepared and cluster deployed with a single Ansible command.
Ansible
I felt this Kubernetes setup would be incomplete without fully automating nodes. Also encourages experimentation since I can reset the lab rapidly if things break beyond repair.
Docker
Deployed with Docker images. My all public images are at my DockerHub account. My private images are in this cluster, at Docker private image registry.
.Net 9 & Blazor
This project is created with Domain Driven Design in mind and uses latest .Net + Blazor features.
Go
If writing a cron with just yaml is not practical, I write it with Go. For trying out other languages to widen my view.
PostgreSQL
Current database. I like Its features and like to experiment with it.
gRPC
Wanted to try something other than REST, used gRPC and liked it.
Grafana
Using it to visualize my data. I like to play with it!
Bootstrap
Used it to create numerous projects including this and I like it, but after delivering multiple projects I'm gravitating towards other CSS frameworks.
Lens
Using it to observe the cluster in a more graphical way. Thinking about trying K9s later. Especially for colored logs.
Kubecolor
It's a must have. It colors all the kubectl output, including logs of the pods!
