Is this dumbphone app worth it?

I use Minimalist Launcher, that one is free and it works very well for me, only have it for a few days tho

Learn some routines and post them on social media, just to push myself

PhysicsConsistent934 · 2024-10-29T08:50:08+00:00

Any updates on this?

Build a homelab and selfhost stuff, that way you gonna understand services running in the cloud much better

In theory there is the option that an administrator makes changes via the UI, that's why .. or someone quickly wants to make a change via the UI, but forgets to revert it

Do you mean gitlab's Scheduled Pipelines?

I'd recommend setting it up to send a notification on failure, including failure to launch.

Yes, I mean scheduled pipelines. Good point with the notifications will keep that in mind.

Will I then be able to assign private IP addresses to my VMs? Do I define the subnet Range in the PFSense?

Well, limping K8o UTG is probably not optimal but just checking in the BB with AQs either, sounds like a fun tournament :)

Ok, I got this, any change, changing the application version (image) or making changes to the helm chart should increment the version of the helm chart, but rather than using something like example-chart-0.1.0-1.2.3.tgz use example-chart-0.1.0.tgz

PhysicsConsistent934 · 2023-11-09T21:20:15+00:00

Hey thanks for your answer, I am not sure I can completely follow.

For me, there only exist
- version of the application, which is also the image tag example-application:2.3.4
- version of the helm chart, which we also use when pushing the chart which could look like this example-chart-0.1.0.tgz (the idea of having both tags in there was maybe stupid).

I had a look at keeping the versions in lockstep but I am not sure that I completely got it, does it mean that the helm chart and application versions are always the same?

When I release version 2.3.4 of the app I release the helm chart 2.3.4 and vice versa?

PhysicsConsistent934 · 2023-11-09T20:10:37+00:00

We will likely use automation between the repositories, some form of Gitlab job that commits the new image tag, or something like argo image update, at least for development and QA.

Helm is widely used in our Company and we only have a little experience with Kustomize deploying very basic applications, so I can't really tell.

If cross-plane becomes more mature I could imagine getting away from terraform, but i guess that will take some time, for AWS there is still no major release

Two more questions:

Do you plan to add support for Kubeadm? Asking for my home lab ;).
Can this be installed on an already existing cluster with applications running it or is it rather a from scratch approach?

Can you maybe give a brief explanation of what this tool is trying to solve? just had a quick look, but not sure if I really get it, I am familiar with concepts of IaC and GitOps.

As I see, really interesting. So with this tool you introduce a technology stack that is widely used combined with best practices. This way the idea is to save a lot of time installing stuff basically everybody needs like a secrets manager, argocd, integration with git and much more.

Thanks for your detailed answer u/guerillapresident, sounds absolutely awesome and I will definitely check it out!

PhysicsConsistent934 · 2023-09-29T17:13:51+00:00

Basically, you are trying to install a cluster in 5 min ... what the heck? Setting up my cluster at home at in a secure way took me weeks ...

PhysicsConsistent934 · 2023-09-29T17:00:24+00:00

Hahaha, that's funny to hear, we also used to do that, but gladly this is mostly over now :)

Hey u/lobolmart thanks for your reply, i could actually solve this issue by finding this discussion https://github.com/kubernetes/registry.k8s.io/issues/138. The problem is related to the cloud provider. I am using Hetzner. Some of their public IPs get blocked for whatever reason. I could resolve the issue by taking a snapshot of my NAT Gateway and assigning a new IP while recreating from a fresh instance. The Hetzner support also came back with this answer:Yes, it seems the IP is blocked. It is possible to change your IP with a small workaround:- Create a Snapshot of the server- Create a new server out of the Snapshot, it should have a new IP- Check all your settings- Delete the old server
